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.

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.
