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.

Dark blond colour with a peachy hue. Aroma and flavour have a note of jellied fruit candies. Rose, raspberries. Sweet but with a fruity tang.

Dark brown colour with thin lacy head. Sharp aroma, almost vinegary but there's caramel and dark fruit too. Nice balance of sweet and sour

Capped 330 from Monument Wines in Concord, CA. Pours ruddy brown with a slight tan head. Aroma is slight sourish. Near med body. Flavor is slightly sour malt with hops I can't identify. If this was a blind tasting I'd put it towards a Flanders Red. A decent beer.

Bottle at Contrabande, Brussels. Intensely deep ripe dark cherry skin aroma. Deep red look. Sweet Sweet taste with deep unsettling sourness. More like a Flanders red sournss than a lambic.Not really my type of kriek but decent and strong! (26/10/23).

Bottle from Systembolaget. Didn't realise id had this before! Gorgeous cherry aroma. Plain cherry red. Taste isn't as phenomenal as initial deep pleasure suggests. Quite quick to go but barrel remains. 7 to 7.3. (8/1/26).

Pours bit unclear, dark blonde. Medium sized white head. Scent is full, intense malty, bready, cookie, wood. Recognizable de leite. Taste is fairly intense, velpon, tad acetic, doughy cookie maltyness. Vibrant lemony side to the acidity as well . Med body and carbo. Quite nice
