Leffe Blond

330ml bottle in Leffe chalice. Pours a beautiful deep gold body with sizeable dense white head leaving thick lace. Aroma is banana, pear, lemon pepper, and clove with some golden syrup sweetness. Mouthfilling body, rich, creamy, slightest bit lactic, moderate carbonation, dries out quickly. Sweet caramel malt body with plenty of candy banana upfront, clove and nutmeg spice manifest themselves along with citrus and bread on a drawn out drying finish. Excellently balanced; complex without being overpowering, strong and rich without being boozy or too dense. A sessionable Belgian that I wish were more common place here downunder!

Tap serving. I had this on tap at Croxley Ales last night and found the blond ale to be superb. I supervised the pouring and noted the tilt the bartender used as the golden ale flowed like pancake batter. The sweet aromas were very present as I went for the first taste. Being very pleased with the first taste, more followed and I couldn’t seem to put it down until it was empty. After another round... to verify, of course...I found this to great with wings.

33cl bottle, clear golden colour, soft white head, caramel aroma, citrus, banana and alcohol notes, very sweet flavor, light metallic bitter finish with creamy mouthfeel

Really not a nice beer at all, over complicated flavours of caramel, toffee, spices and fruit. It is even worse in a bottle, it often can be 75% foam. It really is a bit dodgy this one. The fact that it can be virtually foam for the entire bottles means i wont be risking this 1 again. Sorry Leffe fans!

Glass, Has a golden colour, tastes fruity, a bit of banana and a little spicy. a nice Abbey Blond Ale, suits perfect for sunny days
