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 Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy/cloudy strawberry red with a off - white head. The aroma is sweet, sugary and intoxicating.... slightly artificial, perfumed strawberry, very jammy, victoria sponge cake and so e herbal thyme accents. The taste is sweet - sour, tangy, white sugar, slightly artificial feeling, cheap strawberry jam, victoria sponge cake, gummy candy, herbal accent is more subtle and in the backdrop and the faintest hint of acidity. Finish dries out a bit. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. I like that they are trying out some more interesting flavour combos, but this is ultimately to sweet and a bit artificial. So-so.

Bright clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light and semi dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts. Big floral peach. Quite a natural taste. Not. But I didn't care, it's nice enough. The Cardamon is a nice addition providing that cooling super mellow spice. Light finish. Yeah, could be tarter but I am enjoying this cheap slightly spiced floral peach hit.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours crystal clear honey-gold with a frothy, white head. Smells of peach candy. Medium sweet flavour, more candy-like peach character, white grape, some herbal bitterness, a little grass, tangerine. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. More sweet peach and herbal accents to finish. So so.

Bottle from HoTM. It pours clear golden - amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, sugary , tangy, kinda artificial vibes, peach essence, fragrant, cardamom, peach ice team and sweaty socks. The taste is rather sweet upfront, sugary, very peachy, but mostly artificial, peach ice tea, tinned fruits, fruit cocktail, white sugar, ripe berry, cardamom, blueberry, winey and dull tangy with a shortish, peach ice tea finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. A step up from regular peche, but still too sweet for my tastes.

Notater fra en aldeles utmerket kveld på Våland, i lag med Egil, Johan, Camilla, Marianne og Fia. 0,75 flaske fra Statens avdeling for god ernæring, avd. Kvaddå: klar og vakker rubinrød med fint skum som varer. Nydelig kirsebæraroma og -smak med litt vanilje og søte citroner i tillegg. Superfrisk, superelegant og oppløftende. En av kveldens desidert beste!
