Leffe Blonde

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Belgian Ale
Leuven, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Tap. Copper yellow color with an off-white, lacing foam. Caramel, hops, grass, hints of honey, plenty of malts, and yeast in the aroma. Medium body and carbonation. Smooth on the palate, easy to drink. Pleasant.

Bottle. Tall and lasting head that stays on. Strong yeasty and fruity aroma. Taste is fruity, spicy and well balanced. Sweetish aftertaste.

Golden effervescent. Not anything ground breaking but something very respectable. Nice crisp clean spice flavor, leaves you wanting more.

Fairly clean and gold coloured beer. Sweet malt lip smacker with sweet fruit aromas. Averageish Belgian easy drinker.

My favourite beer. I love it on tap, but the bottle is good as well. This one I’m reviewing is bottle from the NSLC on Maple Valley. Smooth taste for any beer, let alone a strong beer. Some fruity taste, but still strong. Just simply heaven in a glass.

Again I’m not neutral, I just love this beer and it is impossible for me find some logical reasons, is just that I drink it and I like it, one of my favourites. Best thing is the palate, I think is one of the best things a human being can have on it’s mouth

Pours golden amber with a tall creamy head, which lows to a residual lacing. Nose is of Belgian candied sugar, light perspiration, green bananas and some spice, possibly clove and cinnamon. Taste is of candied sugar, rounded marmalade and banana, just the faintest straw-like hops. Buttery and soft in the mouth with fine carbonation. Finishes on the sugars and spice. Seeing that it’s as cheap as chips it’s not at all bad. I’d certainly drink this instead of most other mass produced slosh. But one just wants it to do a bit more and it just wont.

Bottle pours clear yellow with medium white head. Aroma of spices. Taste cloves, a bit of coriander, light fruits. Alcohol not apparent. Medium palate. Spicy brief finish. Not bad but wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
