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.

330ml bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck. Pours misty unclear gold, thin ring atop that threatens to disappear entirely. Light smoky nose, with brett, that marries well with the saison yeast present. Taste continues along similar lines, smokiness gradually becomes a little dirty and off-putting, confident carbonation, a touch woody, not clear what fruit it's been aged on, not quite sure why this wasn't detailed, some lime, lemon, peach and citrus moments. It's fine, just a little lost with no defined, specific intentions.

Thanks for sharing tderoeck + Rubin77 + nathanvc! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ Bierfestival Brugge 2019. Dark amber red tanned head. Nose is very weird, sour coffee grounds, chicory, carrot funk, vinous. Taste is coffee grounds, bark, like a BE stout blended with Oud Bruin soured beer, chocolate thinned and soured, some vinegar,… Thin, grainy, varnish,… Too much for me, strange brew that didn’t really work for me, continuous the streak of odd De Leite beers.

Thanks for sharing tderoeck + Rubin77 + nathanvc! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ Bierfestival Brugge 2019. Clear golden with white bubbles. Nose is mellow white wine BE esters, sweetish white grape, orange peel, noble rot / carrot sweetness and funk. Taste is weird sweet carrot / noble rot / Vin Jaune sweetness, esters, sugar, white wine, grape, challenging, thick but interesting, better than I remember first batch being. The extra time helped.

2/II/19 - sample @ Brugs Bierfestival, BB: n/a - (2019-162) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing todays' beers!
Clear orange beer, small creamy irregular off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, cow fodder, horse stable, manure, bit rubbery, weird, what the hell is wrong with this beer? MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: yuck, this is really bad, very much like rubber gloves, very chemical, manure, slightly smoky, oh my, this is really bad stuff. Aftertaste: nope, more of the same off-flavours, really don't like this. Something went horribly wrong with this beer.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from online most likely. Pours predominantly clear orange-gold with a billowing, frothy white head. The nose has some tangerine meringue. Light-medium sweet flavour with lightly toasted pale bread, semi-ripe citrus, more tangerine, straw, mellow yeast. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, more bready malts, nips of candi sugar, sun-kissed grains, soft grassy bitterness. Drinks pretty good, if a little basically.
