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.

Wie schon zu erwarten riecht das Lambic nach Himbeeren und recht süß. Ein Vergleichsprodukt kann ein Berliner-Mix-Weiße sein, wobei dieses Produkt 100 mal besser abschneidet. Nur leicht säuerlich im Nachgeschmack, ansonsten recht weich, gut trinkbar, der Himbeergeschmack ist noch lange im Mund schmeckbar.

Welch WUnder - ein Kirchgeruch liegt einem in der Nase. Schaut mich ruhig komisch an, aber der Geruch erinnert mich an irgendeinen Kuchen.... Am Anfang ein wenig säuerlich, zum Ende hin ein wenig bitter. Ansonsten ein wenig trocken, aber im Grunde ok. Test vom 9.11.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,11,9,12,9 - 9,45

Beim riechen fällt mir sofort Eistee ein, so und nicht anders riecht es. Außer dem zu erwartenden Pfirsicharoma kann man im Nachgeschmack einen leicht herben Geschmack feststellen, der wenigstens ein bisschen an Bier erinnern lässt. Ansonsten: Eistee mit Kohlensäure (wobei Eistee süßer ist)! Test vom 9.11.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,12,10,13,9 - 9,80

Bottle. Acidic aroma. Slightly cloudy, golden colour. Small white head. Quite acidic flavour. OK beer, I guess.

Bottled. Orangeish colour, small white head. Citrus and sourish pineapple in aroma. Dry, sour apples with some acidic hints in flavour. Long dry aftertaste, very pleasant.

Orangeish, light amber, very clear beer; thin off-white head. Slightly sweetish, grassy-herbal nose; some lemony-citrus and pineapple aromas. Dry, hay-like taste, soft sweet on the background. Tongue is surrounded by fizzy acid; I’m getting again a combination of lemon and pineapple. No Brett, no phenols. Fizzy, dry. Strange gueuze, nice & agreable, but tasting more like an American plambic. Only Belgian gueuze that comes near this is the St. Louis Fond Tradition - which is also a very un-spontaneous gueuze...

Tasted under the moniker Delhaize Krieken Lambic Huge cyclamen-pink head, very frothy; deep dark-red beer, totally clear. Sickly sweet cherry-gums nose, on a vague citric background. Sweet, and rather watery sweet cherry flavour, artificial if anything. Again a tad citric acid, and some vague woody impression. Light and watery, with some diluted syrup, very disappointing palate. The cork would be the most traditional item about this bottle, weren’t it for the fact that it is capped by a standard crown cork. Talk about a poor show. Earlier Rating: 1/15/2005 Total Score: 3.4Deep dark red with a faint amber shine; pink, very fine head. Spicey fruitnose, not very outspoken, syrupy in the end. Soft sweet-sour, bit citric, bit lactic. Faint sweet artificial cherry taste, but neither off-putting, neither cloying. Slight acidburn, quite dry, more fruity in the aftertaste. Not too bad in its kind, some concurrents are much worse. Just not very ’traditional’.

(Bottle 75 cl) Hazy, pale amber with a fairly decent, creamy head. Light body and a surprising light sweetness hidden under the acidity. Very soft and smooth. 120805

An orange beer with a thin white disappearing head. The aroma contains both sweet and sour notes as well as notes of wood and grapefruit (part of the sour spectrum). The flavor is only slightly acidic and reminds me of the vitamin pills I had when I was a kid - nice, I just never had it in a beer - if it is as healthy as vitamin pills, then I’ll take one a day ;-)

Bottled 75cl @RBESG’05
Golden, clear, not much head. Sour, hints of grape. Sour and fruity flavor, all sugar has fermented. Very good balanced.
