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.

Bottled 330ml (Beer Planet)
Murky brown color, small beige head. Strong nose: dried dark fruits (dates), dark bread, toffee and soy sauce. Medium-bodied, crisp carbonation. Flavor is similar to aroma. It has dark fruits like dates and overriped raisins, even overriped banana. It has also strange wibe, soy sauce? balsamico? I wonder how fresh this bottle is.

Bottle. A hazy, golden beer with some yeast chunks. A creamy off-white head sits patiently on top, leaving curtains as I drink. Fruity and yeasty nose, yellow apples, citrus, lime-peel and a sugary touch. Quite dry in the mouth, a spiced and yeasty flavor lurks in the background, while lime, lemon and apples do the fruity frontend work. Some bitterness as the beer slides down the throat. Definately not a beer I could drink a lot of, but it’s also far from bad. 100424

Bottle in Delirium. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Dark and rather sweet. Metallic note. Just a rather bland lightly sweet brown beer. Ok. Not exciting.
