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. Color: Slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Fruity, subtle funky, hints of hay and wood. Taste: Moderate to over moderate tart, fruity gooseberry, green apple and some lemon, oak wood, minerals, some hay and old hop. Subtle barnyard Brett funk. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Well balanced, nice refreshing Oude Geuze with the right amount of complexity.
