So, I've said many times that I'm not a fan of lambics. But sometimes a challenge comes along, and you can't help taking it. Besides the cider, The Beer Garden also had a varied stock of lambics, with the usual red berry ones. And, peach. That's new for me. Guess I better try it.

It definitely smells peachy, like a peach yogurt. Somehow I was expecting a pinker liquid, but really the beer
is peach colored. A light head bubbles up and settles down quickly. Now the taste: changeable; first sweet and then sour, quickly becoming sweet again. Much less tongue-strangling than the last lambic I tried - although with undeniable sour notes, very manageable and balanced. The taste is clean, and also a bit like peach yogurt, and doesn't hang around much after the beer is swallowed. The balance and smoothness remain from top to bottom. I'm pleasantly surprised by this lambic. I may even try other Timmermans', just out of curiosity.
