More brown than amber coloured, but a nice appearance. This Leffe can’t top the brown or blond version, but has a pleasant taste.

Some cherries some roast and the best of the Leffe beers that I have had. Had this at a great cafe in Hasselt, Hemelrijk. Page 279 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide only 339 out of his 500 Classic Brews to go.

One of the rarest of the Leffe, other than 9 degrees because its so new. Very unique and has a color that is a dark amber. Head is thick but fades away. Aroma is nice and spicy and the beer drinks very smooth and you enjoy sipping it slowly. Very nice

Wonderful amber color, dense cream… Aftertaste to kill any one of delirium. Persistent and evidence of red fruits, that I love..............................................PORTUGUÊS: Cor de âmbar maravilhosa, creme denso... Retrogosto de matar qualquer um de delírio. Persistente e evidência de frutas vermelhas, que eu amo.

Existem certas cervejas que nos remetem a certos lugares ou situações. A Leffe Radieuse pra mim é sinônimo de Roma, Trastevere, Campo di Fiori, Aristocampo, porchetta e felicidade. Muita felicidade... Tomada a princípio na Suíça, depois na Itália, essa breja pode agora ser degustada em Terra Brasilis, graças às importadoras. Coloração avermelhada, translúcida, com um creme bege escuro de excelente formação e longa duração, deixando uma camada perene e marcas nas laterais da taça. A primeira impressão é de lúpulo e malte, muito bem equilibrados. Após, cravo. Muito cravo! Em algum lugar aparecem frutas vermelhas, possivelmente cereja. Não senti o coentro presente na fórmula. Há um leve adocicado, assim como um suave amargor. O álcool é presente, mas na medida. A carbonatação é média. A combinação disso tudo, ao meu ver, é perfeita. Excelente retrogosto e drinkability. Grande breja! Se você cruzar com ela, nem pense em não experimentá-la...

Big offwhite shiny head. Deep red body. Acidic fruity licorice aroma. Deep roasty lightly acidic taste with notes of wood and cinnamon. Dry, spicy, lightly metallic aftertaste. Some dustiness in aftertaste mouthfeel. A sharp, bitter quality in the mouth grows stronger as you drink. Not bad, has character. (0.33l bottle.)

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a longlasting creamy off-white head. Sweet malty slightly yeasty caramel aroma. Also some hints of dark fruits. Sweet warming yeasty malty flavor with lots of bitterness. Hints of dark fruits and alcohol. Sweet warming malty finish with some bitterness.
