Leffe Radieuse

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Leuven, Belgium

Very nice beer indeed! Dark brown, deep red coloured. Fruity taste, with the taste of different herbs and a smooth bitterness. Complex and very tasty!

Bottle. I liked this quite a bit, it’s like Chimay Bleu with a bit of plastic in the taste and a slightly thinner mouthfeel. And of course, it wasn’t a 7-year old sample that led to my inflated 4.9 rating of the stuff. Bready taste and flavor. Strong, heavy malts. Prominent yeast, some grapes, plum. Feels about right for 8.5%, with the alcohol just peeking out like my ex-girlfriend’s thongs always did. Oh, how I love modern fashion. Good stuff.

Clear, brown-reddish body. Brownish head, creamy, mostly diminishing and good lacing. Hoppy, malty (chocolate) aroma. Sweet initial falvour, lightly sweet, lightly bitter finish.

This is an exceptional beer when initially poured. Very sherry/nutty like presence which is supported by the full body and mouthfeel of the beer. I like the fullness of the beer supported by the hop and malt overtones that balance well. The fruitiness of a complex banana, apple and pear is a typical Belgian note. Leffe is a fine family of beers.

Dark and diamond. It’s not sure my best king. Bitter with sentore of wood and syrup.

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a short lasting off-white head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, malt, caramel and some alcohol, but not as much as expected.

Deep red in color, enticing aroma. Very tasty. I wonder if I can find it in the States.

Dark red/brown liquid smells of raisins and bread. Constant but small off white head. Smooth and full flavored in the mouth that did not carry over from the aroma, touches on caramel. No harsh alcohol bite only a nice warm belly.
