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.

hazy ornge colour, moderate sized off-white head; aroma and taste of tart, balsamic acid, apple, leather, some bread and caramel, woody, fruity and a bit too intensive acetone notes; more like a Belgian sour ale than a Belgian strong ale; anyway, it is really good

Bottle at home, 21st February 2016. This one has no version 2 on it, but I am assured it is, also no BBE and a US imported label, 5.5 ABV. Any way pours red brown, nice fluffy head with good lasting lacing. Aroma is wood barrel, balsamic, over ripe fruit, apple. Taste is very complex, oak, barrel, tart fruit, sherry, balsamic, great mix of sweet and sourness. Really delicious

At Brugs Beertje. Flemish red (’oud bruin’) with lacing, egg-white, thick head and very dark burgundy colour with bronze hue, misty. Aroma of passion fruit, chestnuts, unripe gooseberry, dried banana, redcurrant, port wine touch, red wine vinegar. Red and dark berry tartness in the mouth, sweet and sourish well in balance with each other, soft carbo, hint of dried plum, caramelly maltiness with a nutty accent while the tartness continues in a drying, yet elegant and not too acidic way. Leite has understood what oud bruin is about, though it could do with more finesse and complexity still.
