Leffe Radieuse

Bottle. When poured this looks absolutely fantastic. Sweet but fresh aroma. Flavor holds quite a bit of alcohol. But it’s definitely a pleasant brew. It’s complex, well balanced and with a fresh note. Not as full and rounded as others.

A red-brown clear liquid, with a fairly large head that dwindled away to a thin layer and left a small amount of lacing. Smatterings of nuts, pears, and smoky sherry. Slightly bitter aftertaste, although a bit weak on the palate for what is otherwise a complex beer.

Amber brown with off white head. Grassy nose with some nuttiness. Very rich and dark with nuts and molasses as primary flavors followed by a faint cherry note. Awesome!

[bottle from peckhams] pours a red colour with a big head. nose is fruity and sweet, reminiscent of a dubbel. good body with a sweet finish.

Bottle: Clear brown with a creamy textured greyish head. Aromas of whraty banana and cloves with dried herbs (rosemary) and spicy overtones. Some crystal sweetness. Smells thick and warm. Caramel and heady spices combine for a warming and complex experience in the mouth. Again the dried herbs emerge, filled out by a mid-palate sweetness. Nice.

Thanks to pineypower for this bottle. Pours a deep amber/copper color, with a tan head. Aromas are sweet malt, brown sugar, with some yeast and spice, too. Flavor is spice, brown sugar, and a little bit fruity. Very nice, but a bit too sweet.

Bière aux arômes d’épices de couleur brune et possédant un généreux collet blanc, la Leffe Radieuse nous présente un goût fort, un peu sucré au début mais avec une finale amer. Bonne Bière équilibrée rappelant le sirop de grand-mère. A brown Belgisch beer with multiple spices aromas and possessing a generous white foam collar, Leffe Radieuse presents a strong taste, a bit sweet at first but then sour. A good balanced beer remembering me my grandmother’s syrup.
