Leffe – Radieuse

There’s initial sweetness to this one that cleverly disguises the high ABV. Dark fruit flavours come through as you casually sip this beer.

There’s initial sweetness to this one that cleverly disguises the high ABV. Dark fruit flavours come through as you casually sip this beer. I don’t know what the national pastime is in Belgium (besides beer and maybe soccer) but I feel this is the kind of beer you drink in the company of intellectuals discussing world politics and affairs of the nation.
