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."

Draught at The Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg, Sweden. Amber with an offwhite head. Aroma is dominated by fruity hops with some maltiness giving hints of caramel. Simple yet pleasant flavor with slight bitter finish. Light carbonation.

A bright sparkling golden beer. A creamy white head. Bread and bananas appear from the yeast along with light citrus hints. Smooth and sweet with a tang at the back of the throat. Fresh pine-wood flavours with a lot more banana and a tight, prickly finish.

Pours a completely transparent golden yellow, thin foamy head, heavily carbonated. Musky banana aroma along with some peaches and sour dough. Sweet candy fruit flavor, banana, peaches, apricot, and caramel. I also get some musky yeast flavor in the finish, sour even. Interesting. Palate is full and sweet, a little sour but mellows into a caramel finish.
