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 at Winterbierfestival Gouda. Bit hazy copper with beige head. Ginger, coriander, sugar, Christmas spices, bitter herbs, caramel. Lots of winter spices in this one. Medium sweet and bitter. Over medium bodied. A bit too much spices for me but it’s not too bad overall.

At Gents Bierfestival; must have been an older bottle, as this collaboration brew - celebrating the Dutch craft beer revolution having stormed the proud city of Leiden - has apparently been discontinued meanwhile. Thin, off-white head, opening in the middle, over a hazy bronze-brown beer with dark mahogany hue. Aroma of dried cranberries, banana, aniseed, caramel, candied fig, coriander. Banana and fig sweet fruit notes in the onset, softish carbo, resiny mouthfeel; caramelly malt body, residual brown sugariness adding something honeyish, bit cloying even, ethereal spicy finish with hints of aniseed and coriander seed, mild bitterishness, caramelly and banana sweetness lingering. Belgian style strong ale, acceptable as such but I guess I had too many spice beers to truly enjoy this.

Thank you for sharing RB Crew! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ GBF 2017. Murky brown, little tanned head. Nose is dull iron, wet dog, murky dark bread malt, overripe bay leaf, kitchen spices. Taste is weird slab stale bread, bay leaf, wet dog, sugar, messy,… Soft carbonation, stale kitchen spices body, thicker. Weird mess, not my thing.

On tap at Stadsbrouwhuis, Leiden - Clear golden body, thick appealing white head. Nose is rather grassy, with citrus undertones. That is knocked out in the taste, clean fresh citrus, long spicy yeast finish.
