Brouwerij Girardin Limited Edition 2021
Fruit Lambic 5 º
This commemorative Lambic, celebrating Paul Girardin’s 60th birthday, showcases the profound complexity of a 100% three-year-old spontaneously fermented ale. Brewed with Pilsner malt and unmalted wheat, it offers an assertive sensory journey defined by extended wood aging. The aroma is a rustic tapestry of horse blanket, damp hay, and aged leather, underscored by sharp lactic acidity and notes of rhubarb and citrus rind. On the palate, a piercing tartness is balanced by a subtle, grainy wheat backbone and aged hop character. The finish is bone-dry and lingering, reflecting the mastery of the Girardin house style in its purest, unblended form.
Appearance. Deep golden to copper-orange hue (5-6 SRM); brilliant clarity characteristic of extended aging; minimal white head with very poor retention, appearing nearly still.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant funk featuring horse blanket, hay, and goaty notes; sharp lactic sourness with citrus and rhubarb fruitiness; low grainy wheat malt; no hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is sharply sour; strong lactic acidity with complex funky layers of earth and leather; low bready malt flavor; bitterness is below threshold; bone-dry, puckering finish with a lingering tart aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; very low carbonation, typical of a traditional unblended lambic; high tartness and puckering sensation; no astringency; subtle, integrated warmth.
