While I was walking through the aisle looking for something to quench my thirst I noticed this sexy little Belgian beer, neatly wrapped in golden foil. I was intrigued, so I went in for a closer look. The back label beckoned me to "Savor the Mystery of the Ages," so I decided I would do just that.

WEEK 9:

Leffe Blonde Belgian Ale


According to the back label of this award-winning brew it is "best served in its own chalice-shaped glass." Since I was all out of those I went with the standard pint glass. Upon undressing the beer and toppling it over in my glass I was met with an interesting array of smells. It was slightly yeasty with a hint of citrus and another smell I couldn't quite detect. I decided to smell it with my mouth this time. It was a success. The ingredient I couldn't detect with my nose was in fact the dominating flavor in this brew—clover. It's an interesting combination, plus it's great when you're looking for something a little on the light side, but not so light it's lacking in flavor. And, with a BAC of 6.6% you're definitely getting your money's worth, if you know what I mean. Well, Belgium, you've done it again. Kudos!
