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.

Bottle from Morrisons at 6.7%. Light cloudy bright gold with small white top. Aroma has that nice Lambic character, picking up notes of lemon, wood, onion but that doesn't really describe it. Taste of lemon and apple, quite sour, light vinegar, nice aged woody notes, some funk in the finish. Sherbet like carbonation. Very good indeed.

LCI. Tart farmyard funk. A bit tight.
