Timmermans is one of only a handful of traditional Lambic breweries from the outskirts of Brussels. Lambic beer has to be the most unusual beer family in the world: small breweries near Brussels maintaining a tradition for spontaneously fermenting wheat beers (no yeast is added), a process whereby micro organisms of the area enter the brew left in open vessels in dusty galleries overnight. Pretty self-explanatory here, this is Timmerman’s Strawberry fruit lambic. Fresh and drinkable, this deep-red coloured beer is fruity-sweet as opposed to sugary-sweet. Aromas and flavours of tart ripe strawberries, bubblegum, and strawberry marmalade are tamed by a high carbonation and light body. It’s very refreshing!
