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.

Clear golden colour with lasting head. Aroma is floral, sweet, oaky. Sweet malty grainy base and sweet malty whisky too. Dry finish.

Je ne suis assurément pas le plus grand fan du style. Mais si cette cuvée oncle pol ne présente pas une complexité exceptionnelle, j'ai apprécié son équilibre entre acidité et douceur et ses arômes, typiques du style. Le visuel est sur un brun limpide avec une faible effervescence et de grosses bulles. Le nez est sur le chêne, le caramel, de légères épices et des notes vineuses. En bouche, l'ensemble est relativement acide mais bien contrebalancé par une base plus douce. La corpulence et la longueur sont honorables pour une bière qui mérite d'être testée.

Bottle at De Beiaard Nieuwpoort. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Tripel aroma of candied citrus fruits. Again .very light in malts. Some bitterness on the finish. Maybe better than the Zeezuiper I had before but only as fruit is better. Its fine. Inoffensive. Hides abv well. Some heat towards end. Some spicy hop on finish. OK.

Good white, dense head over finely carbonated golden beer. Pale malts, vegetables as celeri, DMS. There is a fine sourish background aroma as (cooked) rhubarb. Alcoholic character, rum, gin, and starch. Less obvious DMS, but still present. There is a weyish bitterness, linked to the booze. Certain sweets/gums. Very fiery alcoholic, medium bodied, slick to viscous. Good carbonation. Boozy, not very subtle. And the par excellence example why "Quadrupel" ought not to be considered as a style. Strangely enough, available at Colruyt supermarkets in 75 cl bottles.

10% volgens etiket. Donkergeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en vrij krachtig warm met iets van sinaasappel, wat honing en graan afgerond met een lichte whisky smaak.
