Leffe Blond

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Belgian Ale
Leuven, Belgium

Pours with a thick white head that lasts forever - over an hour! Strong carbonation, thick lace - don’t pour this fast. Nose is a yeasty/wheat and flavor has a distinct malty, mellow, wheat that tastes more like a white than a blonde. Medium bodied and very smooth. $2 for a 330ml bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

pours a gold color with fluffy head. almost tastes like a belgian white. very nice blend of spices. would purchase again.

Pours clear golden amber, with a wispy white head. Nose is relatively subdued, but the rest is well balanced. I get a fair amount of caramelized malt adjoining some banana and lots of clove spice on the finish. Body is moderately carbonated with some palate-coating sweetness. A decent beer.

A deep gold with decent head but little retention. A light toffee malt nose with very slight hop undertones. Good carbonation, but a decent palate sticks the flavor of mild candy sugar and dry bitter hop to the tongue. A good balance, but not enough character or depth on one end, and not quite what you would call refreshing. In a world of mostly average six-packs of micros, at 9 bucks this is a steal, and a true Belgian to boot.

Pours a golden color with a medium fizzy head. Sweet aroma with some spice and yeast. Very bright flavor, with lots of clove and some fruity sweetness. Not something I’d drink every day, but I’d definitely take one that was offered to me.

This really is the benchmark Blond. Nice sweet and sweet aroma. White head and amber body. Flavour is sweet upfront that quickly moves to spice and bitterness on the back end. There is a slight hole in the flavour during transition, but considering this is now a macro brew on a global scale it is still very much a well made and well crafted beer. I’ve tried many blond beers, few compare and i can’t think of any that beat it.

...bottle. Damn good abbey beer. Pours a clear, golden yellow, with a small white head that fades in the chalice glass. Nice creaminess, slightly fruity with great clove notes and hints of citrus. Yeast flavors with a nice spicyness that blends well with the malt notes. Smooth to drink, and you would never know it’s 6.6%, the malt hides all the alcohol taste. Dry finish with only a slight alcohol noticed when it warms. Good beer brewed by drunken monks who know the art of brewing.

330ml bottle. Pours a dark golden color with a 2 finger head that fades fairly quickly. Nose is grain, yeast and sugar. Palate is bread, spice, and a touch of fruity sweetness like white grapes with slight bitter hop finish. Medium mouth feel with nice lacing. It’s an ok blonde about what I expected.
