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.

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av ekfat, laktos, äppelvinäger, plommonkärnor med toner av körsbär. Fin syrlighet, lagom sötma, något kärv, fin beska. Mycket gott!

330 ml bottle from Etre Gourmet, bb 02-02-2019.
Deep ruby, hazy body, with a medium, fizzy, a bit lacing, slightly pink head.
Fresh aroma of more sweet than sour cherries, berries, wine, funk, oak.
Taste follows this, with some more vinegar notes.
Medium, a bit creamy mouthfeel, with a fizzy carbonation.
Finishes medium sour, a bit funky, moderate wooden, with cherries, subtle alcohol.

Tasty. I was expecting something more heavy and puckeringly sour and instead got a refreshing and comparatively easy beer, with a great balance between sweet and sour. This is pretty much about the cherries, while there’s room for other things, like well integrated funk and wine barrel notes. Lovely stuff.

Bottle pour at The Sovereign during the evening with Brouwerij De Leite event. Poured a very hazy, ruby red color with a pink, small head. Aroma was cherry pie filling, so much cherry skin in this one. Light bitter cherry. So juicy. Flavor was nice cherry juice. Not very tart. Perhaps a touch of wine? Very mild, tart, sweet but acidic finish. Nicely balanced. Solid.
