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.

750mL bottle at International Geuze & Kriek Festival 2025, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of elderflower, gentle funk, and more elderflower. Flavour has a great elderflower character, gentle funk, and earthy funk. One of the better elderflower lambics out there and one of the best Timmermans.

330mL bottle at International Geuze & Kriek Festival 2025, pours a hazy dark pink with a small white head. Aroma has bright strawberry, a touch of thyme, not much funk. Flavour is sweet, with lots of spicy thyme, strawberry syrup, no funk. This is garbagey sweet fake lambic.

Magus, hapukas, kirsine, veits vesine, nisune, kirsikivine. Ok?! Tegelikult ajab see õlu mul natuke **** keema:kirjelduses on traditional kriek, aga koostisosades on: konsentreeritud kirsimahl, "flavorings"(!!!), antioksüdant - E300. Traditional my arse

Hapukas, mõrkjas, vaarikane, nats herbaalne, veits nisu. Siin on ka see limonaadi vaib (kahtlustaks, et vaarikas on ekstraktist) nagu selle seeria õlledel, aga üllatavalt ei ole see üldse lääge. Ok hapukas mõrkjas limps.

Hapu, magus, funky, puuviljane, tsitrus, happeline, nats herbaalne lõpus. Ok, kerge limonaadi vaib on siin ka ikka, aga lambicut on ka, seega lambicu limonaad?!

Lambiku seost on raske näha, see on siiski lääge kergelt metalline ja õrnalt tüümianine maasika limonaad.
