About
Op de grens van Groot-Bijgaarden en Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle staat een hoeve waar boeren en brouwen tot op de dag van vandaag gecombineerd worden. Tot voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog was dit in het Pajottenland de gewoonste zaak van de wereld, maar sindsdien liet men overal de boerenstiel voor wat hij was en concentreerde men zich enkel op het brouwen van lambik. Niet zo op de Lindenberg, daar zet de familie Girardin deze traditie al vier generaties verder.

Draught @ Akkurat, Stockholm, leftover from lambicfestival Fruit, sugar and barnyard aroma. Red in color, low carbonation, pink head. Subtle barnyard base, nice balance, fruit not artificial at all. Dry exit, cherry aftetaste is extremely good. Sparkly mouthfeel. A very nice drink!

Amber-brown with a thick, bumpy head. Sugary nose has hints of toffee. Sweet and sour palate, the former being very caramel/toffee sweet and the latter being a clean lactic tartness. There’s a bit of lemonyness in there as well. The result is a fairly aggressive faro - probably the least faro-like faro I’ve had.

Bottle: Poured a beautiful red colored beer with a huge head with excellent retention. Aroma is quite complex mix of lightly sweet cherries and some sourness. I was quite surprised by the balance between the cherries and the sourness as I drank this beer. Definitely a change from your juice/sugar added fruit lambic that are more commonly available to me. Wish I could drink some more of this wonderful drink.

I did not like my first experience with this beer, but it’s re-rate time at the WSF. Clear golden-bronze colour. Musty, shitty aroma with light tannins. Cidery and a bit of a pedio bomb but fresh-tasting and quite quenching nonetheless. Refreshing finish - simple and a bit cidery.

An extremely explosive beer - about half of it ran over when I opened it. The color is an unclear dark orange and it has a beutiful though collapsing orange head. The aroma is lovely of grapefruit but also with notes of wood. The flavor is very nicely sour with notes of grapefruit, wood, and lemon. The sourness draw the mouthwater.

Bottle: The bottle opened with a large POP! Poured a bright red/pink colored beer with a huge head with excellent retention. Carbonation is very strong and aroma is comprised mainly of sweet raspberry. Taste is very refreshing with a very good taste of raspberry (not too much sweetness though) and tart. I appreciated the fact that the acidic part was well covered and wasn’t taking too much place. Overall, this was a very refreshing drink that I wouldn’t mind trying again on a hot summer day.

A deep red beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of sugar on a sour background but also hints of wood. The flavor is dominated by grapefruit and is sweet on a sour background with notes of wood lending it a dryness and hints of brown sugar. The sourness is not that accentuated, but yet it draws some mouthwater. It ends on a note of grapefruit.
