Timmermans Kriek
Originally called the “Mole Brewery”, Timmermans brewery dates back to 1702 and is the world’s oldest existing Lambic brewery. Lambic beers are the product of “spontaneous fermentation” practised by only a handful of brewers. The beers are carefully matured and artfully blended, the sour beers sometimes sweetened with fruits.

Tasting Notes
Its flavour is all cherry, as is already apparent from its very powerful nose. Its acidity is neutralised by its agreeably sweet and fruity bouquet. Its taste pervades the mouth and lingers gently, elegantly tinted with summer cherries.
Accompaniments
Excellent with duck, chocolate and red cabbage.
