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.

This is a low alcohol peach juice. The peach flavour is right out of a carton of kids peach juice. I cannot find any redeeming beer qualities.

Bottle at the beer bistro. Hazy golden pour with a small. White head. Horse blanket, wet hay, minerals, lemon juice and malted wheat. Lovely. Mouth feel, good carb. Tart, funky finish, sour and complex. Lots of grains and funky wet hay, and overly ripe sour fruit. Excellent.

Pours a ruby/amber colour with tiny white/pinkish head. Aroma of sour cherry, sugary. Taste is sour but there is also a lot of sweetness. Medium carbonation. I am not a fan of Kriek beers, but I found this surprisingly drinkable. So, I guess this is a decent example of the style (which always gives me a slight belly-ache for some reason).

Hazy orange golden with a small white head. Aroma of sour lemons, citrus peel, slight funk. Flavour is similar, nice pungent sourness. I like a little more cellar funk in my Lambic, but the intense tartness makes up for it.

Aroma of wheat, fruits, lemon, orange, sour apples. Flavour is sour and sugary sweet, with the sourness a a bit dominant over the sweetness. A bit on the sweet side, but okay.

Aroma of strawberry, funky notes, sugar, hint of tart fruit. Flavour is heavy sugary sweet and light tart. Too sweet and sugary for my taste.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'amarena. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è rosato carico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è poco presente. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, ciliegia, sambuco, frumento e agrumi.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is sweet and tart raspberry and raspberry candy with a slight lactic touch. Flavour is sugary sweet and mild sourish. Body is light. Too sweet and sugary for my taste, but could have been a lot worse, it actually has some refreshing mild sourness.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is sugar, artificial peach, candy. Sugary sweet flavour with a little sourness. Light to medium body. Very artificial and sugary, like soda, what a waste of Lambic.
