The name and also the label were created by artist Rik Vermeersch, Luc’s nephew. The ‘irresistible’ spicy lady refers to a light blond/amber coloured beer of 6.5 volume with a nice white foam. The nose is malty with fruity hints that change after a while into slightly bitter.

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.
