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.

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is herbs, fresh yeast, a bit smoke. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Weird!

Bottle. Unclear red with a 1cm pink head that fades in both colour and extent. Aroma of cherries, earth, cherry stones/ almonds, oak, bracken. Part of the earthy not I don't much like. Medium bodied, diluted kefir texture - very alive. In that Belgian way, it's an 8.5% refresher. Vinous with some cherries, vanilla, plenty of oak. Sour but softly so. Some surprising spice notes at the end - mace? Interesting and good.
