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."

2008 Bottle in St Barths - Sticky aroma of malty fruit and spice, poured light with a good sized head, moderate lacing...flavour is creamy on the front end for me, the clove/fruit/hops hesitated and then came out in full force...not the best balance but okay...might drink again, might not...

Bottle 33cl. Pours a higly carbonated clear gold colour with a normal head, but it lasts. Smell is banana and orange, but hard to define through the head. Very bitter taste, though I must say I didn’t drink it at the correct temperature. Taste is also fruityish, but sour fruits like lemon and lime. Overall a nice abbey blond.

Gold. Rather complex brew. Bitter, fruity, sweet, tangy. Noticable hops, citrus, apricot, caramel, and spicy flavors. Creamy feel with a clean and slightly bitter finish. Great beer.

pequena, irregular e alva espuma, de rápida diminuição. Seu corpo é claro e de coloração amarelo escuro. No olfato, percebe-se de cara uma forte lufada de malte de trigo e lúpulo, ciceroneado por notas de banana. Ao bebê-la, tem-se uma doçura moderada de começo e um amargor moderado no final, sensação esta de rápida duração. No paladar, a presença de um corpo leve e aguado, de carbonatação viva e final metálico.

Bottle--Old rating--High quality stuff that doesn’t have any outstanding characterists. It has afoamy head, decent lacing, banana aroma and a taste that is sweet and a bit tangy.

330ml bottle in Leffe chalice. Pours a beautiful deep gold body with sizeable dense white head leaving thick lace. Aroma is banana, pear, lemon pepper, and clove with some golden syrup sweetness. Mouthfilling body, rich, creamy, slightest bit lactic, moderate carbonation, dries out quickly. Sweet caramel malt body with plenty of candy banana upfront, clove and nutmeg spice manifest themselves along with citrus and bread on a drawn out drying finish. Excellently balanced; complex without being overpowering, strong and rich without being boozy or too dense. A sessionable Belgian that I wish were more common place here downunder!
