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.

Disparate white head over hazed pale yellow-orange beer. Strong nose of blue Curaçao peel (even when not used), vinous, and especially other yeasts (Pediococcus, Brett?) More oranges in the mouth, bitter, Brettanomyces, sweet-sourish. Light body, acidthinning, but very oily feel. Excellent and original.

Flaske 0,33l på Bierbrasserie Gambrinius i Brugge 3 Mai 11. Aprikosfarget. OK kremaktig skum som fester seg til glasset. God fruktig aroma. Smaken er søt frukt. Ettersmak av syrlige pærer. Litt kjedelig.

Bottled. A dark red beer with a huge light tan head. The aroma has notes of candy sugar, yeast, dried fruit, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, dusty hops, candy sugar, alcohol, dried fruits, and a bit of yeast, leading to a dry finish. The alcohol tickles the tongue lightly.

330ml bottle with food at Cambrinus, Cloudy golden body, white, bubbly head. Fruity smell with hints of alcohol. Herbal dryness to a fruity taste profile, hints of peaches. Mostly integrated alcohol. Anonymous and average, but quite possible to drink (Brugge, 03.05.2011).
