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.

On tap @ Proeflokaal Reijngoud. Nice classic dry Geuze with funk, wood, lemon, apple and some bitterness. Not the best sample of the style, but fair and drinakble.

Kwg at The Bolter, City of London. Opaque amber. Thick foamy. Aroma is sweet strawberry with a herbal edge. Flavourwise is similar- sweet juicy strawberry, tempered by a thyme edge. Light. Thin. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent. Easy drinking Lambic.

Best before 2030, from Amstein or the grain d'Orges. Opening this bottle, today, at night, after the visit of Fred. This one was for me too sour, average, dry cereal, a bit fruity, sour, mineral bitterness, a bit rough at the palate.
