Leffe Radieuse

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

33 cl bottle, bought in Denmark. ABV was 8.2%. Large thick head, clear reddish brown colour. Surprisingly weak aroma, but what there is, is pleasant: Ripe and dried fruits, just a faint hint of barnyard. Flavour has malts and spices and a great deal of alcoholic warmth.

Gol;den brown appearance with a full body.Some fruitiness but not overpoweringly so, and quite deceptive as the relatively high alcohol presence doesn’t distract from the complexity of the beer.Left plenty of lacing. A good drink especially in the winter..

Autumn sunset with a mellow campfire of Oriental spices. She dances. Her thighs flicker. The pulsating tongue darts out from the oil and languishes over your body. The night comes. [3.9]
Re-rate. Relais de la Porte d'Eyguieres, Les Baux, Provence. Tea, fig, banana & raspberry aroma. Tea, licorice & prune flavours. Tea coloured. Pleasant with a nice bite of bitterness in the finish.

Bottled: Amber coloured. Medium lasting white/brown head. Spicy, sweet and malty aroma. Flavour is malty and fruity and has a lightly spiced touch. Some light bitterness in the end.

Deep ruby brown. Small beige head. Spicy dark fruit nose. Apple, plum, light to medium bodied, fairly sweet, finishing with a bit ofbtter acidity, yeast, hops. Spicy and fruiy, not a bad brew, although by no means a favorite.

Medium-thick off-white to light-brown foam over a limpid reddish-brown brew. Not very apparent aroma at first, widening to a malty and fruity herbaceous nose of no great distinction. Medium-bodied and rather sweet malty flavor, with some bitters in the end. The beer is of medium-intensity, the ending slightly bitter, and overall this is yet another medium-quality commercial beer, nay, Belgian Ale...and NOT up to Trappist quality by a long shot...

Paris, Place de la Contrescarpe, Cafe Delmas: Nice light framboise nose. Red-orange color, little head leaving brussels laces, soft carbonation. Framboise taste, grapes that makes it bitter at the end. Also some malty tones tasteable. Fullmouth, pricks a little bit. Wonderful on this place after the Rue Mouffetard market in the warm sun.

Nice aroma. Light yeast component. Bit sweet with some malts, caramel. Dark fruits, hops. Copper brown clear with very thin off-white head. Med-heavy watery body with vibrant carb. Light sweet malts. Caramel & some raisin. Nice light floral hops give bitter dry finish. Nutty bitter dry after. Some musty grass components.
