Description
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.

375 ml bottle, 2019 vintage, red label. Dark ruby, hazy body, with a big, frothy, light pink head. Aroma of cheesy funk, leathery-sweet-sour cherries, red apples, some musty basement, subtle citrus. Tastes less funky and leathery, the cherries are a bit sweeter. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes medium dry, a bit bitter, slightly sour, a bit musty, with moderate sweet cherries, some cheesy funk, long-lasting green apple skin. Very nice. Quite rustic nose, with funky and leathery notes, while the taste is a bit straighter, with a quite prominent cherry sweetness. Enjoyed the Kriekenlambik a bit more, which had more depth in my opinion, while this is still a really characterful and smooth Kriek. Score: 8 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 16
