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."

11.2 oz bottle from BevMo. Wow, didn’t realize this is from InBev. I have pretty good memories of this beer as it was one of the few decent beers available when I was on holiday in Costa Rica. Took me a few days to find it after having to drink some pale lagers for a while. Pours a yellowish orange with a finger and a half of white head. Bright aroma of fruit and yeast. But taste is not quite as good. Initial sweet maltiness gives way to a metallic bitterness. Some spice in the finish.

Clear gold color with a tinge of bright orange. Gorgeous fluffy off-white head leaves great lacing. Aroma is pretty one-dimensional. Prominent clove with a yeasty light ester note. Flavor is bananas and a touch of very sweet orange, with the aforementioned clove coming through as well. There’s also a vague earthy note in the very end of the finish. Light, easy drinking, and inoffensive. Very simple but it does the job.

Aroma is a little fruity, some hint of spice. Deep golden color - crystal clear. Pop of the bottle was slight. Decent carbonation and pour. Nose has a hint of spice. Head was moderate at about 1/2 inch. Let sit a little to about 46 degrees F. Mouth was a bit sweet, yet warming. The abbey yeast aftertaste was not overpowering but is more pronounced as the beer warms. A touch phenolic. No pronounced hops as the spices over take it as does the abbey yeast taste.
