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.

Very short lived fizzy head on a translucent honey amber liquid, no retention. Aromas are citrus, malt, vinegar, spice and a hint of MJ. Flavors are similar to nose with citrus standing out and a bit of sweet in back. Pretty good.

It's picked up a lot of woody sourness from the barrel. Not really IPA and not really any Rum or Whisky of note. It's a decent Sour though.

330 ml bottle from the Lcbo.
Deep red pour, with a small lightly pink head. Aroma is very tart, touches of barnyard, and a deep cherry tartness. The body and carb is good, and balanced. The finish is very tart, with hints of lambic sourness. Loads of great sour fruit, cherries and random berries. The oak ageing isn’t very apparent, does seem to add to the beer, but it doesn’t detract either. A great summer sour ale.
