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."

POured a nice deep golden color with a big white head. Aroma was of fruits, ester, spices, and maltiness. Flavor was a bit less, mainly sweet malts, a bit fruity but thin.

I am not at all a fan of this. Its basically a light sweet beer to me. Way too sugary. Yeah its easy to drink, but I want a little more. Too expensive also, redeeming grace is that 6.6% is pretty solid.

Decent beer with surprisingly full mouthfeel. Rather alcoholy with hints of grassy bananas. From bottle, Whole Foods Mountain View.

Bouteille de 330 ml. Nos yeux aperçoivent une bière de couleur soleil-cuivrée avec une superbe mousse blanche imposante qui trace au fil des gorgée une paroit sur le verre. Notre nez respire des arômes de gomme baloune, de levure fruitée, de jujube, de citorn, de barbe à papa, d’épices, de sucre et de fleurs. Notre palais rencontre un corps moyen et notre langue une bonne effervescence. On goute des saveurs de banane, d’épices, de levure, de sucre, de gomme baloune, de fleurs et d’alcool.

Pours an almost clear amber that shines golden when struck by light. Starts off with a generous head, but it fizzles away and left little lacing. Scent was along the lines of many other Belgian brews - slightly floral, sweet, fruity and malty. Taste is somewhat sweet (gets sweeter and rum-ier as it warms up) with an effervescent bite. Bought this at the local grocery store, where the only other Belgian beer was Hoegaarden.

Attractive blonde beer, with appealing golden appearance and reasonably durable head. Soft yeast, hops and on the palate and nose, with sweet undercurrents.

On draught at ’Rocks’ in Chicago. Color was amber, not as blond as I thought it would be. Aroma of malt, sweet fruit, hops, and yeast. Flavor of sweet malt and mild hops, with some floral accents. Medium mouthfeel. Not amazing, but pretty good.

If you’ve never had a true Belgian beer before, Leffe blond is a good one as a starter. It’s a medium golden color and very flavorful. I prefer other Leffe beers over this one myself, but that does not mean that this isn’t a good beer. I have yet to have a bad Leffe beer. I generally prefer darker beers, but this one’s certainly one I buy often.
