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."

Pours a crystal-clear gold with a lot of head which eventually disappears, leaving behind some minimal lacing. Lightly sour apple-cider aroma. In the taste, honey and apples with a sweet rather than dry finish - some minimal hops and some orange peel but not much in the way of spiciness. Body is slightly creamy but mostly thin, carb is good (too good). This is a very drinkable beer, but curiously similar to an apple cider. Perhaps my tastebuds are off today.

Thin, unprepossessing head over a light, golden liquid. Fantastic, clover-sweet aroma is the best feature of this beer, although there’s good flavor, there doesn’t seem to be that much depth. Not as complex as you’d expect from a Belgian, but still definitely drinkable.

Orange-gold with a big white head. Spice, malt, and yeast in the nose. Smooth, malty taste with some orange peel and coriander. Pretty good, not great.

Pours a bright golden with a full rocky head requiring a slow pour. Aroma of tart malt and spice. Taste is sweet malt, tart citrus, and spices like coriander. This is as superb Belgian. Very flavorful and refreshing.

11.2 oz bottle- poured golden yellow, one finger head after 5 minutes of opening. Aroma of malt and yeast. Hits the mouth with malt, a touch of sweetness, alcohol noticeable on finish, a bit of an odd after taste. Nothing to do backflips over.

Fad. Serveret lidt for kold uden noget som helst skum. Ikke en god start for en øl på fad. Men udemærket duft af blomster, og en rigtig god smag med anelser af gær og malt. Fin øl, serveret håbløst.

Orange in color. Sweet and malty. Some phenols that seem out of place and not too great overall.

330 ml bottle. I personally find this beer too sweet for my likeings. It looks like apple juice and tastes like it too. Sure this isen’t cider?
