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 thanks to Matteo. It pours deep pink with a small white head. The nose is fresh, fruit, tart cherry, raspberry, sherbet and light candy. The taste is crisp, raspberry seed, cherry, Granny Smith apple, sherbet, candy, wood, light vanilla, earth, lemon peel and dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Crisp, tart and fruity. Rather nice.

Thanks. Sampled @ ZBF 2014. Hazy ornage, creamy white head. Very fruity nose, slightly funky and tart with lovely barrel, citrus, faint barn. Lovely balanced tartness in the taste, touch bitter wood, nice malt backbone, mellow fruitiness, funk almost akin to a lambiek, pear, touch apples. Fuller bodied. Truly great, incredible balance.

Sampled draft @ ZBF 2014. Very thick creamy orange looking beer with an even creamier white head, looks quite impressive. Nose is quite indistinct, creamy grains, slightly sweet banana yeast and fructose sugar. Feels quite creamy. Taste is a bit nondescript, sweet creamy banana yeast, white sugar, hay, slightly grainy. Very aptly made technically but seems to be very bland, almost non-existing in the taste-department.

Clear light orange beer, creamy off-white head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very sweet, lots of peaches, some candy. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: fruity start, citrus, grapefruit bitterness. Aftertaste: bitter and dry, grapefruit, fruity notes, some passion fruits, pineapple, little soapy. Nice bitter beer!

Pours hazy orange with a small, white head. The aroma contains fruits, malt, caramel and spices. It tastes medium fruity sweet and light spicy bitter. Medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation. A bit off-balance and boring after a while. (Edited 5/6/17)
