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 at home. Clody light brown colour. Fresh sweet and fruity flavours with vanilla and citrus. Fruit and citrus in the mouth as well, and very fresh. More flavours of yeast and a touch of wine. Dry in the end. A decent belgium blond ale with a interesting taste.

(Bottle 25 cl) Courtesy of henrikb. Pours a very cloudy reddish brown with a tall, somewhat rough beige head. Fresh and fruity - apples - aroma. Medium body with a sweet and somewhat unclean malt profile. Roasted, lightly tart maltiness without much bitterness. Rather heavily carbonated. An odd brew. 181106

Bottle. It pours a clear, dark reddish brown body under a small, light beige head. Dried fruits, brown sugar, yeast hints and a spiced touch on the nose. A touch of malts too. The flavor is sugary and fruity, with a touch of spices. Thin on the palate, low on carbonation. Fruity and sugary finish, dried fruits more than fresh fruits. Some goods things here, but not impressing in any way. 111126

Bottled at the Belgian Embassy in Oslo. A bit unclear, brown body, topped by a beige head. Caramel-sweet nose with roasted malt as well. Sweet flavor too, with caramel and a weak spicyness. Medium body and a sweet finish with some caramel and spices. I think this is the best of the Leireken series, the others I sampled were a bit too special. (070103)
