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."

Color is golden yellow with quickly vanishing but slightly lacy white head. Aroma is sweet banana- and wheat beer -like, fruity, a bit yeasty and spicy. Flavor is much banana-like and yeasty with metallic notes in finish. Palate is medium-bodied and foamy carbonated.[28.6.2008; 5,3,6,4,13] ]Deep golden coppery color. Quite small off-white head is lacy. Aroma is sweet malty, fruity and spicy with a hint of alcolhol. Flavor is sweet, fruity, yeasty and banana-like. Medium-bodied and foamy carbonated palate.

Bottle. Pours a golden amber color with a nice small white fluffy head. Aroma of bready yeast and hops. Very pleasant on the palate, smooth and tasty. A very nice brew and one i would by a six of again.

A fine beer--on draught, otherwise it comes off rather watery, especially on the finish. Chimay is quite popular around here, but this has proven to be an excellent and welcome alternative. Excellent scent, and the length of flavor (on draught) is impressive. Creamy texture is almost naughty...fine, sweet clove/allspice/hop character.

Nice balanced blend of sweet and roasted notes, and of yeast and caramel; the flavors hit all parts of the tongue, all four of the basic tastes; a little heavy on the carbonation: a little "fizz" on the tongue; comes on strong at first, but by the time it hits the esophagus it’s approaching water

Clear yellow-gold with tall white head, fun to watch it grow to the top of the tulip glass. Drinks easily, mild touch of fruit flavour. Nothing bad, but nothing pulling me in either.

33cl bottle from Total Wine (Tampa, FL). Rated on 3/21/08. Pours a clear, golden yellow with thick and frothy white head. Reasonable head retention. Smells of coriander, spice, fresh flowers, bread, yeast. Flavor is slightly sweet with hints of honey, bread, grass. Light, somewhat watery mouthfeel with slight bitterness on finish.

(Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 21 June 2008) Yellow colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with toffee, butter, citrus, hay, grass and hints of spices. Malty, buttery taste with notes of dried fruit, citrus, banana and toffee. Medium body, with a disturbing sweetness, that isn’t really balanced by anything. Not really anything wrong with it, just a bit boring and way too sweet.
