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.

Nose is toffee apples, vanilla, cream, spun sugar undercut with light acid, sherry, vinegar, oak - complex. Taste is sherry, the wine tones from the casks is very pronounced but not overpowering, lots of ginger and pepper, then grapefruit, wheat, light acid sourness leading to cream and sugar notes in the dry finish. A good example of how to add depth and texture in casks. It’s an outstanding beer but is tempered for me, because I find pronounced ginger tastes a little off putting, but this is preference.

Bottle @ home. Clear orange color, full sized fizzy white to off-white head. Aroma is malts, slightly a touch of hops, yeast, floral. Taste malts, only slightly hops, lightly floral again and also some yeast again. Decent body, firm fizzy carbonation. All things considered it started out quite nice but in the end it’s quite disappointing.
