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."

Pours a soft, sedimentary/effervescent-laden golden yellow body... beautiful white head leaves picturesque lacing seen only in internet photos--an especially good bottle? Soft hoppy scents that invite without agitation--a slightly off-color scent warms its way in late... light, almost fizzy presentation--effervescent as expected, nutty at the teeth...citrus flavoring takes its lead with a fresh bit of bread at points(!)... crisp and short with little aftertaste.... the understanding that InBev sells this makes an unbiased review difficult--an above-average Belgian that minds its manners through it relatively low alcohol content and its swift presence in the mouth--I recall my first chalice at Avignon outside the gardes, and the experience was magical to me--this noncorked bottle still measures well with the more distinguished abbeys...

Aroma of citrus, coriander and caramel. Medium carbonation, with a head that disappeared within a minute. The color is a little lighter than honey. Spicy yeast, caramel, brown sugar, sweet malt finish. Palate is lively, but pleasant. Good, but maybe on the second tier of the Belgian Ales.

11.2 oz. bottle pours golden amber with moderate head. Moderately carbonated beer with medium body. Aroma is heavy with clove and corriander. Front palate contains more corriander with a heavy bread-like middle and an almost carbonated yeasty finish. Interesting but not one of my favorite belgian beers. This would be nice with a flat out nasty strong or really creamy cheese though. For me, it would be an appetizer or salad beer.

A good breakfast beer (but hey, what isn’t?). Not overly complex, but at 8am who the hell can really appreciate the subtleties in a beer? Dark golden color with a nice white head. Sweet and yeasty on the aroma and the flavor, with light banana notes in the taste. Some alcohol presence. Really smooth on the palate. Refreshing if nothing else.

A nice even flavour all through the tasting of the beer. Never too strong or lacking. It is just a bit cloudy and red, it adds a nice texture to the flavour. It gets strong and just as you think it’s going to get really nasty and give you a too strong alcohal taste it mellows out nicely, very even flavour with fruit aroma. The next time I had it the yeast taste was inescapable, very, very banana, a bit of clove and just a bitt too much in your face yeast taste.

Bottle. Crisp caramel pour with pure white head. nose of belgian yeast, slightly sweet. What stella should be ... bright carbonation, bready/yeasty. Not too far into the ’belgian category’ but very solid.

From 330ml bottle Pours clear amber with thick white head. Amoma of cloves and spices. Flavor is a bit citrus and and a bit malty, floral. This is a really nice beer. Belgian Blond sounds pretty good to me.
