LEFFE BLOND
Volume : 330ml
The beer has a bubbly, thick but short-lived head. Aroma is characteristically Belgian, with esters, phenols and spice (coriander). There is also toffee in the aroma, with a woody, perhaps coniferous hint from the phenols. On the palate it has quite a lively fizz, with a spicy hop flavour and a little spirit kick. Fruit includes apples, sharp lemon, almond and vanilla - the cumulative effect is somehow like nougat but without the sweetness. Vanilla and caramel move toward a more hoppy finish which, coupled with the liveliness on the tongue, makes for a moreish quality - just as well when you've got a jeroboam to get through! Aftertaste is a complex mixture of phenol, banana and toffee. It is quite spirity, with alcohol vapour warmth in the throat. This is a very pleasant, complex and well-rounded beer from Leffe, but lacks the smoothness of the draught version.
