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."

Sweet and sickly with a nasty after taste of cloves. Really, I don’t know why this is so highly regarded. Each to his/her own, I suppose, but whether on draught or bottle it’s always had that horrible, back-of-the-throat, overpowering, clove nastiness. How can the people who produce this also produce the wonderful Brune? Still, it’ll never get minimum marks from me while Carlsberg’s being brewed...

Hazy gold body with moderate head. Spicy nose including cinnamon, cloves, banana, and slight citrus. Delivers strong abbaye taste - clove, dried fruit esp. apricot and banana, yeast, cinnamon, and lightly citrus. Sweet slightly dry finish.

Tasty abbey with a nice tall creamy head. Banana start leads to malty, fruity and alchoolic middle and firm fruity end. Good standard abbey.

pours a clear golden color from the tap at papago. it’s got a white head which fades to a ring/film and remains there. very yeasty aroma with notes of sweet pale malt, flowers, citrus and grass. the palate is a touch too sweet but it does have enough interesting characteristics to make up for that... lots of yeast, fruit (esp. banana), orange, herbal/grassy dryness and sweet spices on the finish which remind me of cinnamon rice pudding. mellow yeast filled aftertaste. medium body is a bit coating on the tongue but the prickly carbonation and spiciness clean that up... this would be killer without all the sugar!

Pours medium gold with a nice head. The summer garden floral aroma has a hint of coriander in it. Taste: spunky hops and Belgian yeast, pretty dry, with touches of grapes and nutmeg. This is full-flavored, but still balanced and subtle - a very nice Belgian blonde indeed - 4 points!
