Leffe Blonde

Last Friday, I was lucky enough to have a visitor in Brussels to help me enjoy the weekend! Amy, who is often featured on my other blog since she is another American (from Minnesota!) that was in Croatia this year with me, came for a a 4 day break from Zagreb. We had a great weekend planned of sightseeing in both Brussels and Brugge with lots of beer tastings in the works. After an afternoon seeing the sights of central Brussels, the Parliamentarium (which is definitely worth a visit if you come to the city), and our home away from home-H&M, we enjoyed our first beers at my place. The first one on the menu was Leffe Blonde, sampled from a 75cl, corked bottle.

This beer is readily available abroad so it is probably familiar to a lot of you; therefor, I won't say much about it here. It was one of the only big bottles we found to share at the corner store and it is always a crowd favorite. The beer is 6.5% ABV  and is brewed under the company umbrella of Stella Artois (AB-Inbev) so it has a really fancy website. It has a sweet aroma, a golden color, and  pours well from the bottle to the glass. We both enjoyed it and I would recommend it, since it's likely one of the only beers on this blog that most of you can run to the store and purchase.
