Leffe Blonde is an ale, more specifically a Belgian style ale, brewed by InBev Belgium. Although it is a monastery beer, receiving its name from a monastery, it is quite obvious that the bulk quantity of Leffe production means that the monastery is present only in the beer's name. The company which produces Leffe is part of the Anheuser-Busch corporation, the largest beer corporation in the world. Leffe is brewed under a license from the monastery and it receives royalties from the product. However, being part of a big corporation, being produced in a factory, yet selling under the name of a 'monastery beer' is a bit dubious, at least in my books. Let's not let that affect the review of the taste of Leffe Blonde.
Taste: Leffe Blonde is a very sweet ale. It is medium-bodied, very soft and fruity. The taste of malt is quite mild and sweet, and the Leffe Blonde finishes with a sweet sugary and almost creamy flavor.
Overall, Leffe Blonde is a very likable beer and is easily available. It doesn't provide any mind-blowing taste experiences, but it is certainly a nice change from your typical lager beer. I guess it's a good thing that some of the profit goes to the monastery. In my opinion, one of the best beers in wide distribution.
75 Good
