Leffe Blond (Abbey Beer) 330ml
★★★★ 4.0 (1 review)Pour this and the first thing you get is that warm bakery smell, fresh bread and a little spice, before the beer's even hit your lips. Leffe Blond is the one you want when you've slowed down for the night and you actually want to taste your beer. It's soft, golden and a touch sweet, with a gentle clove kick that keeps it interesting right to the last sip. Not a chug-it-and-forget-it lager. A sit-back-and-enjoy-it one.
Smell it first. There's vanilla, clove and that just-out-the-oven bread thing going on, with a little floral lift and a hint of ripe pear. The sip is smooth and rounded, soft honeyed malt up front, then those gentle spicy and fruity notes weave through. Carbonation is medium, so it's lively without being sharp. It finishes with a lingering malty sweetness and just a whisper of bitterness to keep it from being cloying. Comfortable, full-flavoured, easy to love.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Leffe goes back to the monks of the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Leffe near Dinant, Belgium, who were brewing as far back as the 1200s. The recipe went quiet for centuries, then got revived in the 1950s when a local brewer teamed up with the abbey to bring it back. Today it's brewed in Belgium under that same abbey name, and the Blond is its flagship, the easy-going golden one that put Leffe on tables around the world.
