Attractive yellow color with rings of foam in the small glass. The aroma as you sip is overwhelming. It's sort of like honey but with a weird intensity I find both insescribable and unpalatable. The flavor is bubble gum with malt syrup. It is quite sweet with a sticky mouthfeel.
There is a bit of yeasty bitterness and a slightly drying finish, but the honey taste is stuck in your palate and the sugar on your lips waiting for a serious rinse with water. From the nip-sized bottle purchased at a Getränkemarkt in Rhaunen, Germany.

250ml bottle poured into a chalice.
Clear golden orange in color with pretty good foamy white head, it gradually dissipates to a lasting bubble sheet on the surface and leaves some lacing on the glass-side.
Grain, bread, and husk lead a nose together with earthy and herbal hop as well as yeasty spice. There is a mild ester like lime and pineapple together with some musty note. Honey is there too with a hint of molasses.
Sweet and sour in the taste from its honey and fruity yet musty yeast flavors, then it is crisp spice with sweet molasses then some herbal hop bitterness at the end. Malt acts as a base of the flavor structure with its grain, husk, and bread.
Medium body with semi-smooth mouthfeel and active yet lively carbonation, the feeling is crisp with a dry finish with its sweeping sweetness.
Honey blonde ale? Umm... no major offensive but there is also no reason to revisit.

33cl bottle poured into the proper Leffe Chalice
Golden brown. Well carbonated without producing much head.
Typical Leffe aroma of yeast, this one mixed with honey and citrus notes.
Immediate and overwhelming honey sweetness. Digestive biscuit and yeasty flavours...
A good offering from Leffe. Not much

From Belgiuminabox. In Grimbergen glass. Reading JHTP11 Ch14. The honey addition is artificial and cloying, it doesnt improve the brew but just the opposite. Better stick to a standard leffe blonde

Totally unbalanced, I even wonder if it is really a beer with so much sugar in it.
I do think a beer can be called Nectar and be a success, by being very smooth and maybe a little bit sweet, but this Leffe Nectar is not.
Maybe for soda ot sugar-likers.

Leffe Nectar? A Leffe beer with honey? Is that an attempt from Inbev to make a beer/made mixed beverage? Well lower your hopes, this is only a poorly executed belgian pale with some honey flavoring. Overly sweet and cloying
