Description
Timmermans has kept the tradition of the true lambic alive for over 300 years now. This unique beer, made with 30% wheat, is brewed in Itterbeek, in the oldest active lambic brewery. At its origin is a miracle: micro-organisms in the air of the Senne valley end up in the wort and cause spontaneous fermentation. This is why a true lambic is brewed only within a 15 km radius of Brussels, in the area known as Pajottenland. Since 1993, Martin’s Finest Beer Selection has been proud to preserve this authentic part of Belgium’s beer heritage.

375ml bottle. Almost black colour with minimally late awakening, small, frothy, fading, off-white head. Sweet-ish fruity and chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of cherry and chocolate, weak oaky and very weak funky overtones. Taste is sweet-and-sour fruity and chocolately, dark malty, slightly woody, notes of cherry, black cherry, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, cherry-flavoured chocolate. Creamy-watery texture, smooth and super soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft carbonation. Very homogenous, almost a tad simple and monotonous - nice.
