An oak-aged bitter beer. By origin the beer already has a light citrus-bitterness because of its 4 hops and the subsequent dry-hopping. The beer soured slowly during its 4 months storage in oak wine barrels. The daring bitter-sour combination was softened by the ageing which resulted in a very pleasant drink.

Brewer- owner Luc Vermeersch is fascinated by old handicrafts. It can therefore not come as a surprise that he installed a bread oven and a small brewery in his garden house. He purchased the 30-litre microbrewery in 1997 in Finland. The manufacturer gave him a training course of exactly one weekend. Thanks to much self-study and by making numerous small test batches, both his knowledge of, and his interest for brewing, grew. After 10 years’ brewing experience he enlisted for a brewery course. During his tuition year, he forged plans for a larger brewery and he started purchasing parts of the installation in various places. In April 2008 Brewery De Leite was a fact.
