Description
Brouwer - eigenaar Luc Vermeersch heeft een grote interesse voor traditionele ambachten. Niet vreemd dus dat hij destijds in zijn tuinhuis een broodoven en kleine brouwerij heeft geïnstalleerd. De minibrouwerij van 30 liter had hij in 1997 in Finland gekocht. Hij kreeg van de fabrikant juist geteld één weekend opleiding. Door veel zelfstudie en het maken van talloze kleine proefbrouwsels groeide zijn brouwkennis en -interesse. Na 10 jaar brouwen schreef hij zich in voor een brouwcursus. Tijdens het cursusjaar smeedde hij plannen voor een grotere brouwerij en begon hij her en der delen van de installatie te kopen. In april 2008 was brouwerij De Leite een feit.

Bottle from Asao. Great grassy hop nose, tart, barnyard, citrus, light lactic acid. Slightly wild. Very intriguing. Deep gold with tons of little bubbles and a fine, high head. Sweet, bready malts to start, moving into hoppy bitterness and slightly funky dryness. Oranges, hay, dust, crackers. This is good stuff. Again, this brewery impresses me with a barnyard style that is “Belgian-American.” Puckery grapefruit hop finish. I want to visit this brewery!

Bottle from Asao. Tangy funky nose, lactic, citrus, funk and dust. Cloudy orange gold, high, fine head. Sweet stone fruits, wood, citrus, barnyard, sour, sweet background with wild funk. Yogurt, vanilla. Wow, this is great. Very complex and wild, yet lovely smooth flavors. Excellent. Big surprise from an unknown brewer. A Belgian version of Hill Farmstead?

Bottle from Au Nom de la Bière, Brussels, bb 26Sept2014
Deep blond color, hazy, with generous compact head. It’s a good beer, with a good body structure, round, with mild spicy yeast characteristics and low hop character; the aroma also has a light cereals touch. But rather simple.

Nice crisp deep amber coloured body with some lighter copper glow and a thin, half centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of fresh hops, light alcohol, some grassiness, a hint of yeast and some light sugars. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a very bubbly mouthful; Strong malt flavour with some yeast definitely noticeable, a hint of grass, some light hops and a bit of sugars at the tail end. Aftertaste is very bland with only the malt and yeast sparkling through - not much of anything else, perhaps a bit of barnyardie funk, like a biere de garde or almost like a saison, but not much else. Overall, a decent belgie, but there are much better out there of course. Still - worth the space in my suitcase for this one, and definitely, well worth sampling here! I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 30-June-2012 for €3,50 sampled at home in Washington on the other side of the pond after a great Detroit Red Wings victory on 22-March-2013.

09/02/2013 330ml bottle. Dorata, spenta, lievemente torbida, schiuma non molto abbondante, bianco sporca. Al naso è meravigliosamente vinosa, acidula, con sentori di frutta bianca, molto pulita e bilanciata. In bocca è delicata, forse un filo troppo, ma ha un equilibrio davvero notevole tra dolcezza e acidità, e soprattutto scende giù in maniera incredibile! Gli 8.5 gradi non si sentono per niente e il corpo è abbastanza snello. Un piccolo capolavoro.
