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 the local HIT drunk after a whisky tasting with Chris and Olaf. Dark red with tall pink head. Nose is the gummy cherries I used to buy at Faneuil Hall as a kid, with hints of black pepper that I might not have noticed but for the beer name. Flavor is slightly less artificial than the nose, sweet but very simple, one dimensional with some weird pepper-ish note.

Clear vibrant red. Aroma is quite some artificial chewing gum but also light berry and herbs. Taste is not so sweet with light fresh berry sourness. Overall still very much on the sweet side but I expected much worse.

(Bottle) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, fruity nose with notes of dark bread, liquorice, coffee, chocolate, orange peel and cherries. Roasted, malty, slightly tart taste with dark bread, nuts, coffee, dark chocolate, orange peel, cherries and a mild roasty bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, quite dry. Interesting and complex, with a good acidity. Nice one.

Bottle from Morrisons at 6.7%. Light cloudy bright gold with small white top. Aroma has that nice Lambic character, picking up notes of lemon, wood, onion but that doesn't really describe it. Taste of lemon and apple, quite sour, light vinegar, nice aged woody notes, some funk in the finish. Sherbet like carbonation. Very good indeed.
