About
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.

Little cloudy copper red to ruby coloured beer under a light pink creamy head, very stable and bit adhesive. Aroma: strawberries, bit of candy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: little sweet first, raspberries, then more sour, red currants. Aftertaste: a little bitter with some spices, strawberries, strawberry candy without all the sugar,. Pretty ok for a fruit beer.

0.33l bottle. Pours a cloudy pale golden body with a small quickly fading off-white head. Aroma is sour and slightly woody with a hint of grapefruit and vinegar. Body is medium, texture slick and sticky and the carbonation is really extreme - almost like a champagne. Sour and lemony flavors, green apple with a tart finish and a thin thin bitter and warming aftertaste. Quite low bitterness, but it makes up for it by being just plain sour all the way through. Yeah, not bad!
