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.

9 June 2023. At Café Rose Red, Bruges. Shared with the lovely Anke!

Hazy red-brown, stable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of malt vinegar, sour cherry, redcurrant, leather, blue cheese, brown bread, red apple. Taste has sour cherry, red apple & red berry in brown-bready, marzipan-like malt body, surrounded by funky vinegar & leather. Tart finish of cherry stone, vinegar and some wood. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Refreshing, not too complex in its acidity, somewhat maltier Flemish Red.

Bottle in Café Rose Red on 8th June 2023. Light pink head on a red body. Cherries (semi-sour) dominate the nose and taste, some woody aging notes within the flavours stop it being just about the cherries.

Label calls it a bitter. Untappd says it’s a Belgian IPA. Tastes like a blonde to me. 🤷‍♂️
