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.

Bottle at Pibar, Lausanne
Hazy blond color, small creamy head. The aroma is very promising, I start thinking of Drie Fonteinen. Smooth, highly carbonated, sour, lemony, with a mild fruity presence. Penetrating. Almost a Lambic.
Excellent.

Bottle thanks to McNeillR. Appearance - golden amber with a decent thin head. Nose - light toffee, maybe fudge. Something fruity, maybe plums. Taste - caramel biscuits. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - decent but unexciting.
