"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."

From the 11.2 fl. oz. bottle marked 19/01/11-4322:48. It pours a murky orange-yellow color with a short-lasting off-white head that simmers down to ring around the glass with thin lacing. The aroma is full of the clove, malts, and thin hoppy sensations that are fairly typical of a Belgian Abbey Ale. But my gut feeling is that the aroma is clearly milder than most. The mouthfeel is of decent medium quality with a kind of creaminess that is enticing. As for the taste, it has a very pleasant characteristic of clove, coriander, hops, and a background of malts. I used this word already but it is a good one. It really is enjoyable and ’mild’ as far as a Belgian Abbey Ale goes. It is easy to drink and totally unoffensive. I could have a couple of these easily.

TET (685) - FINLAND - MAR 27, 2010
Golden beer with medium and white and head. Aroma is quite aromatic, flowers and spicy, some witbier-like coriander and lemon. Flavour is simpler than aroma, some sweetness and spicyness and again some witbier elements, but overally taste is a little bit too mild. Medium palate with balanced carbonation. Balanced beer, but too carefull.

BrewingFan (251) - Texas, USA - MAR 24, 2010
Banana and clove aroma, on a clear golden hue, nice head. Foamy head, and clean sweet, hefe like clove flavor. Very clean and tasty with a nice crisp finish of creamy beer.

Lady_Bastet (113) - Burlington, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 23, 2010
Poured golden, hazy with a white, good-sized head. Minimal aroma but one of gentle hops and hay. Light on the tongue with a soft maltiness but very subtle. Light body with slightly sweet taste. Not overpowering but not weak either. Prefer it to other Leffes. Overall it is a nice, quaffable beer with a quiet, slightly bitter finish.

Golden color with a white head. Fruity yeast aromas with a nice bit of spice on the palate.

Croff (164) - Ostra Sonnarslov, SWEDEN - MAR 14, 2010
Pours a clear gold. Big head slowly fades to lace. Aroma of malt grain citrus. Light taste of citrus grain, bit of yeast. Moderate carbonation. Thin body. Syrupy finish. Not bitter enough. Not a bad brew, but dull.

uilliacc (20) - Texas, USA - MAR 12, 2010
11 oz bottle, golden pour, nice thick head that settles to a nice dense 3/8 inch with lots of lace. Aroma of sweet fruit, yeast, spice. Taste of clove, apple finish. Thin but pleasant on the toungue. I like this beer more when it’s on tap, but nonetheless, it is a nice close on a light meal.
