Leffe Blond

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Belgian Ale
Leuven, Belgium

Quite tasty. Not as interesting and complex as other Belgian blondes.

I really like this beer. On draft, it comes out very sharp and refreshing.

Sweet cake mix-like nose. Clean gold color and big spongy head. Vanilla tones and hints of oranges are well blended with the light malt body. For a light colored beer this has a big full body and creamy mouth feel.

This was good. I can taste that its a quality brew. 6/3/4/4/12.

RERATE: (consumed 12/27/06, 12oz Bottle). Golden pour with some depth. Very minimal head of soapy white film. Aroma is mild sweetness. Flavor is sweet, slightly alcoholic as it warms. There really isn’t much too this beer. The yeast flavor lets you know its Belgian, but their really isn’t much else. 5/3/5/3/11

12oz bottle from the same six-pack as the 12/27/06 rating. About one year old. The color and presentation of this beer is pretty impressive. The aroma is sweet, yeasty and with definite alcohol presence - although not unwelcome. The flavor is sweet, dusty yeast and some spiciness that is mild but obvious. Easy to drink. 6/4/6/4/16

2006 Bottle. Approximately 2 years old. Pours a vivid gold color wit a big fluffy white head of tight creamy bubbles. The aroma is a spritzy lemon/orange. Teh flavor is smooth and refreshing. Citrus but with a sweet malty finish. I think I prefer this beer with age, which is counter to my tastes lately. 7/5/7/4/16

33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. It poured a golden colour with a medium white head that settles down quickly in the glass leaving a thin white roof. It has a grassy aroma and smells of malts and yeast. The flavour is dry and tastes of malts, some yeast and alcohol. It has a lingering aftertaste.

Gold. Rather complex brew. Bitter, fruity, sweet, tangy. Noticable hops, citrus, apricot, caramel, and spicy flavors. Creamy feel with a clean and slightly bitter finish. Great beer.
