Bottle, 33cl ’Brouwer op bezoek, Gentse Biervereniging’. Dark brown colour, beige foam. Medium carbonation. Aroma of dark fruit and caramel, also some spices. Medium sweet, medium bitter. Not very well balanced. Ok, nothing special.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Willems. Bottled on 26/03/2014. Furniture / wood brown, big creamy tanned head. Heavy liquorish smell, furniture, polish & lots of leaves, eh. Bitter leaves, allspice, light anis, liquorish, varnish, furniture, polish taste, mineral feel to it. Mineral, faint metallic, touch fizzy body. Okay but far from top in the executed style, there are a lot of middling beers like this in Belgium & I expected something better from De Leite. I’m used to much better from them.

Foamfountain nearly ruining my smartphone, laptop and desk upon opening. Points lost. Turns into not very stable off-white head, first fluffy later more dense (then gone) over orange beer with every enzyme and yeastcell evenly distributed in the volume. Herbal, hoppy and yeasty nose. Fresh garden herbs, wild hops. Flavour of bitter but nice hops, and something remotely reminiscent of Brett-beers (Orval springs to mind). Faint saltiness (olives?) , bit of band-aid. Some pale malts. Very spritzy, even fizzy MF, light body, aftertaste is very ghostly. Certainly not a bad beer - I’d loved to have more than half a glass (left). My friend, I’m used to more skill from you.

Bottle at the chriso May 2014 tasting - London. Thanks to Matteo! Pours clear, red-pink with a foamy head. The nose has bright cherry and jammy berries. Light to medium sweet with mellow tartness, slight funk, more vibrant cherry character. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Crisp on the finish with moderate sweetness, juicy cherry, light apple, good and fresh tart kick. Very nice. Drinks well for the strength. Lovely.

Wood-aged beer like their Cuvée Mam’Zelle, but sour. Stable, off-white, loose head, colour a deep peach blonde, hazy. Strong estery aroma, sweet and sour like an oud bruin, overripe peach, pineapple, passion fruit, lemon peel, dry sherry, sweet tobacco, tannins, yoghurt, white wine. Acidic taste, lemony at first, lots of esters (pineapple, red berries, apple peel) on a soft bready malt base, some lactic acidity as well, ensuring a sour dry finish, woody almost like a sweetened geuze. Lacks some of the ’wildness’ and ’funkiness’ of a real lambic, more clean, with the sourness artificially added; not unlike a good oud bruin though, except from the colour. Reminds me a bit of Petrus Aged Pale. Very enjoyable, if you’re into sour beers.

Leite’s first, with a label designed by an artist. Creamy, firm, off-white head, peach blonde colour with orange hue, not really amber contrary to what the label says. Soft fruity aroma, apricot, pear, some orange, grains, slight sourish touch, caramel; fruity taste, soft and mellow maltiness, spicy notes, bit yeasty, mild herbal hops in the finish with light bitterness.
