Lindemans Goyck

Brouwerij Lindemans

Tap to rate

Goyck is the old spelling of Gooik, hometown of Geert Lindemans and Koenraad Goddeau, the two brewers behind this collaboration: Toots, a top-fermented ale, blended with Lindemans lambic and refermented in the bottle. Hops dominate the nose with gentle malt, fresh citrus, soft floral notes and a subtle lambic touch; light on the palate, gentle hop bitterness meets delicate acidity, and the finish is fairly dry with a touch of bitterness. Clear golden, 5 % ABV.

Soft floral character emerges alongside delicate malt sweetness, while a subtle lambic funkiness anchors the profile without overwhelming. The aromatic balance suggests restrained fermentation and thoughtful blending between the top-fermented ale and lambic components.

◐ Taste

The palate enters light and crisp, with delicate hop bitterness spreading evenly across the mid-palate. Gentle acidity from the lambic blend provides framework and refreshment, while restrained malt sweetness supports without dominating. The interplay between dry hop character and subtle tartness creates pleasant complexity without harshness.
