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.

Bag-in-Box at Arrogant Sour 2019, 24 months old.
Amber-brown, clear body, with a small, frothy, yellowish head.
Aroma of overripe fruits, leather, wood, ripe apple.
Tastes similar, with some more nutty notes.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a flat carbonation.
Finishes medium dry, moderate sour, a bit sweet, leathery, wooden, with apples, overripe fruits, some nutty notes.

Very nice. Really rustic stuff, with a lot of old, ripe character. Quite complex, while still really quaffable. Another very characterful one by Girardin. Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15
