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 shared at the Great Job America tasting. Cloudy dull golden with a big thick white head, not unlike that of Trump. Aroma of yeast, herbs, coriander and light citrus. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter with a little citrus acidity. Light medium bodied with light moderate carbonation.

Bottle at home. Very light pale straw, looks more like a light cloudy white wine than beer. Light lemon, light grainy notes, peach, dough, light grass. Quite fruity with what I guess is the buckwheat. Under medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with doughy feel and fizzy carbonation.

Pours clear blonde, ok white head. Smell is malty, rather sweet. intense for a lager. Taste is less intense, mild bitterness, bit malty touch. not bad, but certainly not great, and I don’t see why strubbe thinks they have to make this many different lagers, without any of them being unique towards one another.
