About
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.

33cl bottle on 14th May 2018, in Cafe Red Rose, Brugge. Hazy golden body, white crown on her head. Farmyard aroma and taste, not really my thing but I managed to drink it all. Scored objectively.

Bottle at home. Almost clear darker golden with big fluffy white head that doesn’t last very long. Soft pils malts, grassy hops, a touch of citrus peel, light dry yeasty notes with a bit of allspice, dry bread sticks. It’s quite subtle, except for the nice German pils style hop kick. Medium sweet and a bit over medium bitter. Medium bodied. Quite OK.

Bottle at home. Clear amber with fluffy off white head. Light apple, sweet malts, quite some caramel, dusty grains, grassy. Very malty brew, there’s light yeast and some grassy bitter hops, but it’s mostly malty here. There’s a soft dusty and earthy touch in the finish which is not my favorite. Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with slick feel. I really prefer their sour beers.
