Leffe Nectar is een oranjekleurig blond bier waar honing aan werd toegevoegd. Dit zacht en verfrissend bier typeert zich door een vleugje zuurheid en draagt een heuse overvloed aan aroma’s met zich mee.

Bottle from Tesco (somewhere), Wednesday 19th November 2014 Pours clear gold with a white head. Far too sweet, honey is evident, just a sweet cloying mess of a beer. Not great at all. A5 A4 T5 P3 Ov10 2.7

Clear golden beer with a foamy head with a pungent, fruity nose. Flavour has an initial shock of honey but it mellows after that, becoming a slightly milder variant on the Leffe blonde. It’s not really what I expected that that sugary-sweet hit up front but it’s very drinkable.

Another exploitation of the Leffe brand, this one since 2013, a honey beer with thick, snow white, stable head and bright golden blonde colour with calm sparkling. Aroma strongly attacking with sweet industrial honey, next to more subtle impressions of banana, corn, plastic, straw, iron, cider, soap and cooked cauliflower. Sugary sweet onset, artificially honeyish, almost lemonade-like, with some late and brief leafy hops in the finish; the added honey, however, dominates the palate and sticks in the end. Apparently AB InBev missed the point here and failed to understand that you do not necessarily have to taste lots of honey in a Belgian honey beer...
