Description
Preparations for Leidsch Bier started in 2003. Before that, owner / brewer JW Fukkink had been active as an amateur beer brewer since 2000. The official start was a fact with the introduction of Leidsch Blond in April 2004. With the move to own business premises (mid 2010) and obtaining the brew / excise permit (May 2011), there was finally a real beer brewery in Leiden again.

Looks gorgeous. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruits, caramel malt, hops. Very nice IPA, surprising.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is sweet caramel malt with brown sugar, lots of speculaas spices, touch of dried fruits. I don't get much ginger. Flavour is quite sweet with a decent bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Not really my thing, quite sweet and heavy on the spices, but fairly well-made if you're into that sort of thing.

This a decent blond beer with a cloudy appearance and a lightly sour start, but the bitter takes over and makes it enjoyable.
