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."

Bottle. The wife picked up a 18 pack of Belgium beer from Costco and it had a sixer of this in it. This stuff is being marketed like crazy lately. Pours a pale yellow gold with thin disapearing head. Aroma is sweet and malty like a crappy pale lager but has some hints of spice and yeast. Flavor is much improved over the nose and comes with a fair amount of sweetness but improved with a peppery and spicy finish with hints of honey and faintly perfumy hop. A fizzy and light mouthfeel help things seem more "belgian" than the taste alone would imply. Just enough dryness in the end to cause another drink but a licking of the upper lip gets you all honey malt again. Flawed in my opinion, but not bad.

On tap Boise Flying Pie. this brew pours out a light goldish topped with a white head. A nice aroma of yeast and spice. tast was pretty good. I picked up some more of that spice along with some sweetness. Not a bad Belgian.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear yellow (blond) with a medium white head and sweet aroma. The taste is sweet malt with hints of caramel, spices, vanilla, honey and hop. A medium spicey and later on hoppy finish. Pretty good!

This is a very solid Belgian Ale. I like the lower alcohol content, combined with the overall quality of this brew. The aroma has hints of floral, citrus, and banana. The appearance is golden, clear, and frothy - very nice head and lacing. The palate has a medium body, is creamy and lively, and has a nice, long finish. Think I’ll crack another one!

330ml bottle. Clear gold coloured with a decent, but short-lived, white head. Aroma had plenty of sweet malt with some spice. The flavour was predominantly sweet with a warming alcohol finish. Ok.
