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.

En definitiva, muy disfrutable y atractiva, que rica.

Sample from jerrycan at Carnivale Brettanomyces 2025, John Versyck blending workshop. Didn't take many notes, just enjoyed good beers and good company. What I do remember: Almost 3 years old. Citris acid, wood, like honey without the sweetness of honey.

Very dark with ruby highlights. Bold cherry notes with chocolate, light sour cherry, some faint roasted malt. Medium to full body. Finish has sour cherry and noticeable sweetness. It’s a fine beer and a fun one to try.

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours a hazy golden yellow with minimal white head. The aroma has summer fruits, bananas and a hint of citrus. In the mouth it is slightly sharp but with a deep rounding sweetness. Flavour has bananas, bubblegum, oranges, coriander and apples. Some herbal notes come through later leading to a slightly dry finish. This is quite nice and refreshing – definitely a summer beer.
