Advantages: Range of Flavours

Disadvantages: Not entirely pleasant

Leffe Blonde is marketed as being authentic Belgian abbey beer.
At the wine shop nearest to me, it sells for around £2 a bottle, which is for the 330ml size. The price can vary greatly - when I was staying in a hotel in Belgium, I asked for two pints of Leffe, and was stunned when the bill came to around 16 Euros - not a bar I went to again...

The beer itself is fairly light in colour, and is has a high alcoholic content at 6.6% volume.

The taste is quite unusual, and in my opinion, not entirely pleasant. It's certainly not a beer which you could say is refreshing, although I do find it tastes better cold. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, but not unpleasant.

There is definitely a range of flavors in this beer which I can't really describe, but i'm sure beer connoisseurs will enjoy. Overall it's not unpleasant, but not my beer of choice.

Summary: Interesting Taste - Not my cup of tea...
