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."

To look at this beer, you might think it’s a lager, maybe even a pilsner. To smell it, you might think it’s a wheat beer. Taste it and you’ll know it’s an abbey ale. Spicy, fruity and a touch of alcohol. Went well with my steak and drank a little too quickly for the price.

Draught in my kegerator. Pours gold with a nice wihte head. Smells of light spice, perfumy, some dry malt. Tastes crisp and spicy with some floral notes and residual sugar on the finish.

Leffe has a clear bright gold pour with a white foamy head, there is an abundance of effervescence in this beer when first poured, fine bubbles cling together and to the glass to make whippy lacing, very nice to look at, head is sturdy and always there and looks like an over carbonated. Aromas are yeasty bread, malt and some fruit, there is some leaf and faint earthy tones in the background (hops?), and I get some faint alcohol in the background to, flavors are light malt (Pilsner?), bread and light fruit with a honey sweetness, I noticed some pepper bite at the finish, there was some traces of some malt flavor and sweetness after the finish, and some alcohol felt in the background to, not a lot of alcohol but this is a 6.6% alc. beer and I do not think this should not be given any alcohol flavors for that alcohol strength, the alcohol did not spoil the enjoyment of the beer for me but some drinkers may find it to be a nuisance, mouth feel is around medium, maybe a touch thin from too much carbonation, this is an easy drinking beer, bubbly and gives a creamy mouth feel (from the carbonation), this is an ok drink, I liked the malt aroma of this beer but nothing really exciting.

Rich gold/amber color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of yeast, fruit/floral, & spice; Flavor of sweet malt, fruit- notably apricot & banana, caramel and spice; The palate is a little on the light side, but nicely balanced; A very good brew -I drink this one all the time.

Pours a straw yellow with big fluffy head. Nose is dominated by yeast, corriander, cumin, lemon peel. Taste is ok, lots of spicy yeast flavors, corriander, cumin, hints of lemon and orange.
