Leffe Blond

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Belgian Ale
Leuven, Belgium

(Bottled) Golden. Clear. Medium-sized white head. Fruity nose. Medium palate with some carbonation. Taste is fruity, sweet and yeasty. Light bitterness in aftertaste.

On tap with happy hour special! Pours dark copperish color with good lacing. Yeasty aroma. Very smooth beer with backbone, medium-heavy carbonation and a nice savory aftertaste.

This is a pretty tasty Belgian blond. The flavor and aroma are light, yet yeasty, almost banana/aplle like notes can be detected. The mouthfeel is a little on the syrupy side for my taste, but if it is served well chilled, this can be avoided. This is a great beach brew, and I’ve found it does better with a few days of cold storage before being drunk.

Aroma is full of pears and sweetness. aroma is very clean, as is appearance. flavor is sweet, very easy to drink. This is a darn good beer! Perfect to style and wonderul to drink.

33cl, from Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink, clear, very small head, nothing special

Aroma was sweet citrus, color was a nice dark golden in appearance. Flavor was vanilla covered fruit with hints of floral flavor. Felt smooth and sugary in the mouth, easy to drink.

Golden amber color w/ a large slowly diminishing head. Aroma is attractive and slightly citrusy. Palate is thin, sugary, and quickly disappearing; aftertaste is very subtle. Above average carbonation leads to a acidic feeling. Very drinkable due to thin palate, but finishing this beer makes me want something more. This beer is maybe something good to drink w/ food or to start out with, but it definitely does not go where all of the places a good beer should go.

On tap, Newcastle area. On tap this is a much better beer than it’s bottled equivalent. The bottled version has a strong, dislikable metallic flavour. On tap it is more of the standard belgian hops and bitter flavour with a hint of the bottled metallic notes. Better, but not great compared to ’real’ belgian beer.
