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.

330 ml bottle from Etre Gourmet, bb 6/1/2018.
Deep red, clear body, with a small, fizzy, lacing, yellow head.
Dense aroma of oak, red wine, leather, overripe fruits, red fruits, vinegar.
Taste follows this, but not as heavy as the nose, with more lovely fruit notes.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes dry, sour, vinous, but also smooth, with lots of oak, leather, fruits.
Very tasty. Really greatly balanced, very aromatic nose, while the taste has the right level of drinkability and a well dosed tartness. Lovely combination of oak and fruit notes throughout, accompanied by a vinous character. Great style example how I like it.

Matt tåkete rød med høyt rosa skom som legger seg fort. Lukter sure røde bær, vanilje og noe trevirke. Minner meg om vaniljepudding med rød saus. Smaker surt, syrlig, røde syrlige bær, kirsebær og noe vanilje.

Bottle at home. Hazy ruby with fizzy pink head. Lots of sour cherries, some almonds, berries, dough, light spices, soft red wine vinegar, light herbal. Almost medium sour with nice underlying sweetness for a nice balance, and there’s soft bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with quite some fizzy carbonation. Nice.

330ml bottle [the name says it all: from a trade with Bartlebier, merci beaucoup !]. Barely clear, chestnut colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting and lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, nuttily and minimally bready malty aroma, fruity hints of red berries. Taste is minimally dry, nuttily malty, leafy hoppy, almost woody, diluted residual sweetness; minimally watery.
