Leffe Radieuse

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Bottle at home. Pours an amber color with a creamy tan head. Aroma of fruits, cinnamon, some cream, spices, clove and a malty base. Flavor is surprisingly bitter, with only a hint of sweetness and very spicy. Quite ok creamy texture and a bitter finish.

330 ml bottle a amber red brown colored beer with a white head aroma sweet malts spices and fruit taste sweet fruit and alcohol

Pours deep red brown with an off-white head and minimal lacing. Aroma of malt and alcohol. Clear pouring. Quite off-putting but I can’t my finger on why. It lacks distinction. It is very mediocre. Medium carbonation and light body. Flavour of alcohol and maltiness but again, nothing to write home about. I wouldn’t have it again.

330 ml bottle. Amber body, beige head. Aroma has fruits, malt and some spices. Flavour has some hops and alcohol plus the same ones in aroma. House flavour is present. Don’t like it.

Bottle at Funchal (local supermercado, 3.15€, BB 12/2010)
Clear deep amber color, steady creamy beige head, lace. Sticky wood, grass, berries and caramel with light alcohol in the nose. Medium-bodied. Harsh, alcoholic, caramel, gooseberries, redcurrant. Kind of more alcoholic version of Leffe Rossa.

Interesting flavor experience. Starts sweet and slightly metallic, but then goes round the mouth and warms it. Back to skating now

Bottle from a Leffe giftpack. Ruby-amber with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is fairly generic as far as strong Belgian ales go - notes of yeast, dried fruit, spice, all pleasant but very nondescript. Flavour is similarly enjoyable - nice candi sugar sweetness, a yeasty/spicy tang, mild boozy heat and pleasing bitterness in the finish - but ultimately, it’s not an especially memorable beer.
