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.

Sample @ Stadsbrouwhuis, Leiden. Orangée, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme au bouquet léger houblonné, rétro centré sur une note épicée et de levure. Retrouve un léger fruité rappelant l’abricot fermenté. Palais est léger au niveau houblon, finement citronné, touche de pamplemousse avec un malt jouant la carte du caractère dominant. Impression de thé vert, abricot et fine amertume en fin de bouche. Ok pour une bière d’intro dans le style IPA.

0.33 l bottle from ’Wines & More’ (Leiden), best before November 2017. Clear, golden yellow with a large, foamy, almost stable, white head. A bit sweetish, moderately grassy and slightly spicy-fruity aroma of straw, some grains and hints of citrus. Sweetish, slightly fruity-grassy and a bit spicy taste of straw, some citrus, even hints of grapefruit and a bit of grains, followed by a short, moderately grassy-bitter and a little dry finish. Medium body, smooth and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Easily drinkable, no rocket science but at least quite refreshing.

Tap at NBPF. Murky light brown with cream colored head. Pine, canned pineapple, tin, mineral, soft caramel. Interesting aroma, really strong on canned fruits but not bad. Under medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with an unfortunate watery feel which makes the canned notes come out more.
