Fruit Lambic 4 º 10 IBU

Brewery John Martin & Brewery Timmermans

Timmermans Kriek Lambicus presents a vibrant expression of the Fruit Lambic style, characterized by its intense focus on sun-ripened cherries. This beer balances the traditional wild, funky complexities of a lambic base with a pronounced, sugary sweetness that softens the natural acidity. The aromatics are dominated by a powerful, fruity bouquet of fresh summer cherries. On the palate, the experience is deeply refreshing, offering a harmonious blend of tartness and sugar that avoids being overly sharp. The finish is remarkably long and pleasant, leaving a persistent memory of elegant fruit and subtle, earthy fermentation notes typical of the Senne Valley.

Appearance. Brilliant ruby red with a dense, pink-tinted, mousse-like head that exhibits excellent retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh, ripe cherries dominate the nose. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle complexity of earthy funk, light hay, and a faint, wheaty malt backbone characteristic of spontaneous fermentation.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of sweet cherry nectar, followed by a gentle, underlying tartness. Very low hop bitterness allows the fruit to shine. The wild fermentation character provides a nuanced depth of mild barnyard and oak, finishing with a lingering, sweet-and-sour cherry aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a lively, sparkling carbonation that provides a refreshing prickle on the tongue. No alcohol warmth and low astringency ensure a smooth, approachable texture.
