Leffe Radieuse

Bottle 0,33ltr: One of the finest of Inbev, every big bad thing have something good. Amber looking brew, with fruity, caramel taste.

33cl Bottle from Sainsburys. Reddish chestnut with a thick white head; rich aroma of candied fruit, alcohol and malt; nutty and caramel flavours, with a long fruity and slightly bitter finish; alcohol rather too obvious for my taste.

Bottled at Sicosis Pours a beautiful, clear dark ruby/brown color. Head is medium, white and creamy. It leaves a gorgeous lacing. Aroma is strong with a malty/yeasty character with lots of fruity smells. There are notes of berries, chestnuts, peanut butter, plums and a lot of caramel. Well balanced and interesting. Flavor is bittersweet, fantastic, nutty and caramelly hints and some light herbal, grassy touches complemented by a nice alcoholic kick. Not extreme but very classy. Body is medium with an oily texture. Carbonation is low which leaves space for the flavors to shine. Nice, mildly alcoholic finish. The best Leffe i’ve tasted.

Bottle. Brownish-yellow colour with a short lasting bubbling off-white head. Sweet fruity-sour aroma. Sweet and fruity flavour with some bitterness to it. Good mouthfeel! Good warming and fruity brew.

(DTW Luzern 07) Ok, but aftertaste ruins this one. Pours nice copper-brown with minimal head. Taste of fruits and spices with nice maltiness, but has a sharp bitter aftertaste that lingers too much.

Bottle. High white creamy lasting head. Clear copper body. Sweet aroma of berries and sugar. Alcohol dominates the flavor of barley malt caramel and some hops bitterness with a sharp edge. Nice and long bitter aftertaste.

Dark amber colour with white floffy head really fruity taste of berrys is mild and well balanced with much alc.

Bottle. London. Pours brown-red with white generous head that disipates quickly. No great tastes of either hops or caramel, but a strong alcohol body that you can feel on your breath as if it had its own presence.
