Leffe - Blonde
Alcohol Content :- 6.6%
Brewed at Inbev Belgium BVBA/SPRL, Brussels, Belgium.
History : Founded in 1152, Norte Dame de Leffe was an Abbey next to Meuse river, Belgium.
In 1240 pilgrims were welcomed at Leffe and was decided to build a brewery since hospitality was a major part of the abbey.
The abbey & the brewery were closed during the French revolution until it was re-established in 1929. By 1952 with its well guarded recipe & brewing traditions Ab-Inbev committed to honor the tradition of the Leffe beer.
Appearance : The beer was Amber in colour. Clear in appearance. A small head was formed. The head was off white in colour. Head retention is low.
Aromas : Sweet bread dough and dried fruit aromas of raisins and dried berries. Citrus and red apple aromas with alcohol warmth. Caramel with vanilla and maple syrup aromas.

Flavor : Sweet bread dough flavors and caramel and vanilla flavors. Citrus flavors accompanying alcohol warmth. Hints of juicy red apples and dried berries. Low bitterness from the hops.

Mouthfeel : The beer is crisp. Sweet malt flavors and caramel notes. Medium bodied. Alcohol warmth could be felt with high astringency. Carbonation is high. Aftertaste of citrus fruits and caramel.
Overall Impression : This was a complex beer for me. Alot of aromas and flavors coming through. This was quite a pleasant amd well made beer. Gives you a good kick with good aftertaste and excellent in terms of body. All the elements together make it quite drinkable. This beer can be paired with a whole lot of foods like Sausages, BBQ's and all well done meat preparations. I highly recommend this beer to everyone out there and do grab hold of this beautifully crafted beer. I am definitely gonna go back for this soon. Cheers🍻.

The sweet wheat malt profile is prominent and dominates the fruity citrus flavor. Apparently I also got light banana flavors too which was surprising for this style. The balance ...
