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."

Bottle. Crisp caramel pour with pure white head. nose of belgian yeast, slightly sweet. What stella should be ... bright carbonation, bready/yeasty. Not too far into the ’belgian category’ but very solid.

From 330ml bottle Pours clear amber with thick white head. Amoma of cloves and spices. Flavor is a bit citrus and and a bit malty, floral. This is a really nice beer. Belgian Blond sounds pretty good to me.

Pour was yellow/gold with a thin foam head and some lacing. The aroma was bready with a yeasty zing. A nice fruity sweet malt bill with mild peppery spicing a a lot of yeastiness. Nice palate, smooth and not thin at all. A really nice drinking beer.

En otroligt snäll öl som inte gör något som helst motstånd. På gränsen till för lättdrucken, faktiskt. Tack vare den rika smakfloran - skulle eventuellt kunna beskrivas som kompakt - är det ändå en upplevelse som förgyller vardagen.

(bottle from co-op) Had this beer before and there was something about I just couldn’t work out that I didn’t like. Poured a nice mid yellow golden colour with good carbonation and fast bubbles. Smells citrusy and flowers. Has a full mouthfeel with a bittersweet tast. In fact it seemed to get sweeter the more I drank. Overwhelmingly so infact. Citrus evident in flavours, felt like grapefruit or something. Not particularly refreshing, or particularly interesting. Ok, but I’ve had many better belgian ales.

On tap at Johnathan’s Bistro in Appleton, WI. Pours clear golden amber with a small swirl of bubbles on top and little bits of lacing on the way down. The aroma is extremely sweet and dominated by the Belgian yeast, bubblegum and bananas. There is only the faintest hint of hops in the nose. The hops are a little more prominent in the taste but the spices, clove mainly, really amp up the spiciness of the taste on top of the underlying Belgian yeast sweetness. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated and that, combined with the spices, really tingles the tongue in the finish. This is a decent Belgian beer though not quite as complex or drinkable as some of the better Belgians I’ve had. Decent.

a very light yeasty smell, it pours dark gold with a thick lasting frothy head. it is quite sweet and malty, tastes like honey and is nice and warm from alcohol too. it is very nice, and i have mentally had it underrated for quite some time.
