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.

Bottle, 5.2%. Berry fruity aroma. Cloudy pink colour, getting more purple at the bottom. OK light pink head. The flavour is fruity, some mild berries, raspberry without the citric edge, perhaps. Not so sweet.

Bottle, 33cl, courtesy of KimJohansen. It pours a clear, amber body under a nice, dense, off-white head leaving lacings. Berries in the aroma, not much else comes through. The same goes for the flavor, it’s dominated by the berries, some malty notes in the background. Medium body, rather dry. Berries finish. Overall, too much berry domination and it feels too artificial. 100814

330 ml bottle, as Leireken Bio Boekweit Blond / Sarrasin Blonde, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6%. Extremely pale straw colour, nothing amber about it at all (are you sure the Amber is the same as the Blond?). Moderate white head. Strong yeasty esters in the aroma, spicy notes. Citrussy, spicy and wheaty flavour, quite nice. Very refreshing, low bitterness.
