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.

Had this from bottle at Vilvordia Bier Proef Festival, Jette, Brussels, Belgium Sat 24th March 2012 with Loz and in company of Simon, Jackie & David Hazy amber in colour, really floral nose, very perfumey, hadn’t read about this so didn’t know that it had been matured in Medoc casks, not sure what Medoc is but think this is wine so I guess that this is contributing to the nose. Unusual beer, tangy, fruity and with a little sourness but it is very nice. A8 A4 T6 P3 Ov14 3.5

Bottle @ VBPF’12. This beer rocks!. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme de barrique de vin blanc vers ce profile houblonné de nelson sauvin. En bouche, garde ce côté belge mais avec un ajout de houblon sauvin et cette maturation en barrique laisse un profile somptueux de vin blanc le tout sur des notes tropicales et une fine pointe acerbe en fin de bouche et un côté boisé tanin de vin.
