Description
De naam is afgeleid van de Leirekensroute, de fietsroute van Londerzeel naar Aalst, vertelt Leo De Smedt, Opwijkenaar en geestelijke vader van het bier. Op de Opwijkse ambachtenmarkt in de zomer van 2002 was het Leireken-bier voor het eerst te proeven. Het bier wordt sinds 2007 gebrouwen in Brouwerij Strubbe te Ichtegem in opdracht van Thylbert bvba. Voorheen werd het gebrouwen bij Brasserie de Silenrieux.

Bottle. Dark red color with light head. Big, fruity, syrupy aroma. lots of berries. Nasty, astringent, filthy flavor with all kinds of nasty fruit, syrup, and some harsh ass. Pretty nasty and dirty. some fruit comes through but this is just wrong.

Bottle. Pale yellow color. Slight grassy hop and light malt aroma, very pedestrian. Very sweet, malty flavor. Just ok. Quite like a major industrial lager.

Small soft bubbles form the white head of this beer. Beer tastes like the head. Fine beer for a nice warm day in the spring.

Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of grain, spice and yeast. Dry grainy flavour with a spicy touch. A bit dusty and yeasty
Earlier Rating: 5/7/2011 Total Score: 3.1
Hazy yellow with a lasting white head. Grainy malt aroma with a bit of yeast and a hint of nuts. Malty flavour with obvious buckwheat notes and a fruity touch. Also had a bottle with a vinegar-y infection - that was actually more exciting to drink

A pale blonde lager with a thin white head. In aroma, a sweet chalky malt, German hops, so-so. In mouth, a bland sweetish eurolager, with mineral notes, short and boring. Bottle at Mondial 2011, June 11 2011.

I liked the colour on this one. Lacking a bit in smell. Other than that it’s an okay beer.
