Leffe Radieuse

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

Spiritus fruit malt aroma with clear red brown colour. Fruit malt flavour with smooth flat palate.

Pours a fluffy head but disapates quickly. Chocolate brown hue, ever so slightly cloudy. Quite lifted nose with some sweet, spicy almost cinammon notes. Nice mouthfeel, plenty of fizz early but disappears at the back. Fairly sweet palate, thickens a little but nevery cloys. Good length and carries the 8.2% with ease. No heat to speak of. Like the stablemate Vieille Cuvee a sipper (ie one bottle a session) drink but to my mind a better drop.

[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.

Aroma is spicry and fruity. pours light brown with a red hue, with a big head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Flavor is malty and dry with some spiciness, and raisins. easying drinking mouthfeel. More hops and complexity would be nice... but by no means a bad beer.

330ml bottle. Amber coloured with a moderate, off-white head. Sweet aroma with some grain and spice. Flavour also had plenty of sweet malt and spice, with some orange peel and a warming alcohol finish. Good.

Malty, caramel, herbal spicy aroma. Copper brown. Spicy, absinthe like flavor. Very little head. Alcoholic spiciness.

Bottle, 33cl. Pours translucent dark mahogany, with short-lived off-white head, some lacing. Cherry, malt and yeast on the nose, and very sweet on the palate, too sweet in fact. A shadow of a beer in comparison to a genuine secondarily fermented beer, and added sugar is no substitute.

Bottle @ Café Gollem. Amber colour, white head. Malty aroma, caramel, fruits, spice. Flavour is malty sweet, fruity, a bit spicey. Like a strong version of Palm Speciale. Not my style, too many "amber" flavours.
