Timmermans Lambicus Framboise Hibiscus

◎ Appearance

A pale amber hue with bright, translucent clarity that allows light to pass through cleanly. The head is modest and delicate, with fine bubbles that disperse quickly, leaving only sparse lacing on the glass. Carbonation is gentle and subdued, befitting the traditional lambic character.

◌ Aroma

Raspberry dominates the nose with soft, candied berry notes that sit at the fore. Beneath lies a whisper of floral hibiscus character, lending a subtle perfumed quality. Oak and funky undertones emerge on deeper inspection—earthy, slightly vinous notes that speak to patient wooden maturation.

◐ Taste

Bright tartness enters immediately on the palate, supported by berry acidity and gentle stone-fruit notes from the raspberries. The mid-palate remains light and dry, with funky, slightly earthy character adding complexity without heaviness. Bitterness is minimal, allowing the sour and fruit notes to persist cleanly through the swallow.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and lingering, with bright acidity and raspberry notes fading gradually. A faint oak dryness and subtle funkiness linger on the tongue, inviting another sip.
