Timmermans Lambicus Blanche

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with fine, lingering carbonation and a delicate white head that clings to the glass with modest retention. The body shows slight cloudiness typical of wheat-based lambics, with good transparency despite the haze. Carbonation level is moderate, creating an effervescent but not aggressive sparkle.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh-cut wheat straw and herbal coriander spice, layered over bright citrus notes from dried orange zest. Subtle funkiness emerges beneath—characteristic of the lambic fermentation—without overpowering the wheat and spice. A whisper of tartness signals the acidity to follow, with no harsh or vinegary edges.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens crisp and tart with a soft wheat malt foundation that balances the cidery acidity. Coriander and orange zest provide herbal and citrus complexity mid-palate, while restrained fruitiness adds subtle stone-fruit character. Bitterness remains low and well-integrated, allowing the tart, spicy notes to dominate without harshness.

◑ Abgang

Clean and refreshing with a drying quality that lingers gently on the palate. The finish balances residual acidity with the herbal, slightly peppery aftertaste of coriander, fading to a crisp, dry conclusion.
