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.

Golden coloured. Lemon aroma. Rather malty, acidic.The finish is somewhat reminding of a non alc. malta. There are more complex gueuzes around.

Light taste, only slightly sour. Similar to a faro, but stronger and not quite as sugary. Fairly straightforward character and like Timmermans Faro this is very refreshing.

Dry, lambic body, with a fruity, pungent, dry finish. Not only the best Timmermans, but also the best cassis.

It's lack of complexity is countered by the fact that it is one of the five most refreshing beers on the planet.

Reddish-brown. Some woody, balsamic notes. Lightly fruity kriek with light wood and a mellow balsamic note. Sweetish finish.
