Ingredients: Belgian yeast strain; pilsner malted barley and a mixture of Biscuit, Aromatic, Munich and Honey malts. Fuggles and Styrian Goldings. A full-bodied pale gold beer, fruity and spicy aroma and palate and a low bitterness. Typical examples: Leffe Blonde and Affligem Blond. The diversity of beer is really appreciated in Belgium. Here tradition and innovation go hand in hand and flavour is king. The abbey ales of Belgium were my first real appreciation that beer could be so different from the norm. Although most abbey ales have lost their monastic links, for beer lovers Belgium is still an enlightening experience.
