Commercial Description:
Filtered.
Uses Vieux Temps yeast which gives the clove-like flavour.
"Leffe Blond is a pale abbey beer, with a full, sunny, golden colour. It has a smooth and full bodied taste and a rich creamy head. Like all the Leffe beers, it is a ’connoisseur’ beer that is easy to drink."

Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a tulip glass. Pours a medium yellow to golden color with a nice white head that lasted a considerable amount of time. The nose gave evidence of being the same yeast as that used by Chimay, albeit somewhat less pronounced in terms of esters from the lower gravity and cooler fermentation of this beer. The palate was really nice; a complex blend of fruits that were really perfect for a summer evening on the porch. There was evidence of some malt sweetness, but it took a decidedly back seat to the esters thrown by the yeast. The finish was medium-dry. Overall, probably the best example of Belgian Blonde Ale I’ve had.

Beautiful, large fluffy head on top of a sweet refreshing light caramel taste, like the cheap low alcohol version of Kwak. This does have a little kick in it, like a metallic ting.

Pours out a clear light yellow body with a small white head that fades to just a lacing. Aroma is sweet, yeasty, and spicy. Flavor is fruity and biscuity with a touch of nutmeg. A touch of alcohol on the way down. Not bad a very typical belgian golden ale. It is what it is.

Pours a light copper with a white head. Aroma is of cloves and a metallic spiciness. First sip is sweet malt followed by a slightly tart finish. Very simple but more enjoyable than I expected. Probably the best of what InBev has to offer.

One of the very first Belgium beers I ever tried many years ago. When served in its proper glass the beer looks very light at the bottom and gets darker the further up the glass you look starting a pale yellow and turning a golden brown. The aroma is very pleasant, Belgium yeast, sweet malts, and a slight floral scents fill the nose. It’s moderately carbonated but still relatively smooth, not as full feeling as other Belgium ales. A very clean refreshing taste of yeast and sweets malts makes this a very enjoyable, a well rounded beer. Very enjoyable brew and readily available.

Pours a dark golden with a one finger white head. Aroma is bananas, Belgian spice, yeast. Flavor sweet, bready, with spice and fruity notes.
