Leffe Blonde

Country - Belgium

Percentage - 6.6%

Brewing Company - Abbaye de Leffe SA

When poured this is a clear dark gold amber colour with millions of tiny bubbles of carbonation drifting gently up through the beer associated with a superb extremely frothy white head providing a giant bouquet of fruity banana and peach. This is a smooth full bodied beer that is very sweet on the palate with little bitterness. Complex fruity colourful flavours roll throughout the mouth but remains too sweet with the Belgium yeast dominating all aspects of the brew. The alcohol in this beer attempts to remain hidden amongst the sweet fruity flavour but can still be detected despite the mild lingering aftertaste. This is a decent Blond style beer but falls short of the achievement obtained by the La Trappe Blond and La-Chouffe Blond Bier.

Verdict - Great
