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.

Hazy golden colour with an amber hue. The head is creamy, warmish, with good retention and some thick foamy lacing. Interesting nose starting with some big sweetness, but what helps comes next with some mild red wine vinegar notes. Light Brett with earthiness and some hints of yeast. The taste is a nice mix of fruitiness and light vinegar and earth. There might be hints of rusty water, but seems fairly light all-around, even for 7.5% ABV. A nice sourness appears in the finish. Interesting.

Bottle from LDW, Hazy golden colour, white foam. Nose of balsamic vinager, wood, tart grapes. Taste is very fruity and very tart. Some sweetness balances the vinegar notes. Great!
