Länge sedan jag drack en Leffe men första gången jag provade Radieuse. Den sticker ut lite med sin syrlighet a la maltvinäger. Den balseras väl av karamellsötma med honung och torkad frukt. En lite stramare finish med bra beska gör också att den håller ihop väl. Minus för mycket metallsmak i början.

14/08 0.33 l bottle from an Interspar, Udine. It poured cloudy brown body with medium sized brownish head. Fine caramel and yeasty aroma with typical belgian spices. Touch of tart hops. Caramel, dark fruit and spicy flavor, clove, pepper and cinnamon mostly. Strange sharp bitterness probably from alcohol ruins it a bit. Medium to full in body, with longer, vanilla and yeasty finish with that strange grainy/alcohol bitterish note still remaining. Warming at the very end. Quite fine with enough flaws, I would say about the average for its style.

Pours brown with a rather minimal head. Tastes malty, a bit sweet with some yeast and fruity. Medium bodied. From a bottle.

Bottle. Dark brown - reddish, small and fully diminishing light brown head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, fruitiness – berries and some spiciness. Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, fruitiness, caramel and some spiciness, faint alcohol. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, fruitiness and some spiciness, alcohol. Fruity Belgian strong ale with lots of alcohol in the finish – nothing special.

Andrò controcorrente ma ho beccato la bottiglia no buena, ma a me questa non mi ha detto proprio nulla...

Das Leffe Radieuse zeigt sich im Glas kupferfarben mit üppiger Schaumentwicklung. Im hefefruchtigen Geruch lassen sich Eindrücke von Ananas und Koriander ausmachen. Der Geschmack gibt sich malzig-sahnig, schöne Lackaromen umspielen die alkoholisch-scharfe Note. Ein reichhaltiges Bier mit vollem Körper. Trotz Massenprodukt-Image sehr empfehlenswert.Test vom 10.12.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche
