Leffe Radieuse
Amber colour, with orange peel, coriander and roasted malt in the aroma. Coriander seeds and orange peel are part of the recipe, not just hop-derived. Strong at the start, long and warm on the finish, with a dry, resinous edge from the hop bill. Serve at 5-6 °C in a wide glass. A beer for game or rich beef, where you'd otherwise reach for red wine.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Leffe Radieuse
Warmer than most — 12–14°C. The fruity esters, spice and warming alcohol need room to breathe.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
