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."

Golden with white medium head. Smooth and sweet, quite rich in flavors, but overrated. If a beer gets so popular it has something very boring about it usually

Bottle 33cl. Pours a golden coloured beer with a white head. Average carbonisation. Meaningless taste, boring. Nothing more to say.

A blond beer (yeah really). The experience of drinking it made me think of my old student days drinking Miller Light. I could probably get into this Belgium beer lark if it wasn’t for the fact that there are loads of UK cask conditioned beers that are just so much better (IMO).

This a bargain compared to the other beers in this category...great blend of spices, fair aftertaste, full and tasty head with good retention

Pours with a thick white head that lasts forever - over an hour! Strong carbonation, thick lace - don’t pour this fast. Nose is a yeasty/wheat and flavor has a distinct malty, mellow, wheat that tastes more like a white than a blonde. Medium bodied and very smooth. $2 for a 330ml bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

Pours clear golden amber, with a wispy white head. Nose is relatively subdued, but the rest is well balanced. I get a fair amount of caramelized malt adjoining some banana and lots of clove spice on the finish. Body is moderately carbonated with some palate-coating sweetness. A decent beer.

A deep gold with decent head but little retention. A light toffee malt nose with very slight hop undertones. Good carbonation, but a decent palate sticks the flavor of mild candy sugar and dry bitter hop to the tongue. A good balance, but not enough character or depth on one end, and not quite what you would call refreshing. In a world of mostly average six-packs of micros, at 9 bucks this is a steal, and a true Belgian to boot.
