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."

bierbeek (37) - Beek, NETHERLANDS - JAN 20, 2012
33 cl on tap. Clear yellow colour with white head that diminishes quickly. Aromas is rather licht: some fruits and yeast. Taste is yeast and herbs, especially coriander, citrus and clove. Finish is sweetbitter, not longstanding. Creamy mouthfeel. Nice, but not that special

lukin (224) - Ontario, CANADA - JAN 19, 2012
bottle. Pours golden, large creamy head. Aroma of yeast, banana, flowers, spices, clover. Very belgian aroma and taste, like a lighter sweeter tripel. Good beer.

Had this beer in 33cl and in 75cl several times. Last time I had it two days ago. The 33cl bottle was best before may 2012. So it had been aging allready a little. Must say the beer improved remarkable. It gets a bit full, heavier, more tastfull then the younger one. Not a bad brew at all.

Fine tasting abbey blonde beer, although too rich to drink in great volumes.

BlackIPA (201) - Rochester, New York, USA - JAN 16, 2012
Pours a deep golden amber with a small white head. Notes of clove, yeast and a hint of sour in the nose. Funky and floral on the palate, with a spicyness that permeates your mouth and leaves you questioning your manhood. This one really comes from you at all angles and keeps you guessing. I am surprised, this is a good fucking beer.

Chiswick (137) - Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 15, 2012
crystal clear liquid, yellow orange colour, pours a white cloudy silky foamy head. the aromascape is full of fruit, citrus, and herbs. the taste is crispy with mild bitterness and a full sweet wash that has changing character. the body is relatively light but serves the tastes and the herb side pretty well and manages to create juiciness. could work better with a more dry texture and softer, less spiky, lower carbonation to complement those crispy, herby tones. a good citrus herb beer, not very powerful or dynamic, but serves as an enjoyable good quality beer of its own category.

LED40 (12) - SCOTLAND - JAN 15, 2012
Bottle. Sweet dark fruit aroma. Golden brown and carbonated appearance with a thin white head. Taste is is of brown sugar, caramel, dark fruits and hops. Palate is rich and sticky coating the mouth. Overall an enjoyable beer which is easy to drink and widely available.

JDBaker11058 (616) - Maryland, USA - JAN 15, 2012
Appearance: clear, brassy gold with orange notes, a fluffy white head and generous lacing. Aroma: yeast, clove, coriander, apples, toasted white bread. Taste: sweet and slightly fruity, with notes of pears, apples, and white grapes, with lots of spicy yeast character, with clove and coriander prominent. Finish: tingly, yeasty, and a little crackery. Notes: Extraordinarily easy-drinking, with some in-your-face yeasty spicyness that somehow works. Not an every day beer, but also not an everyday beer.
