Tommie Sjef Ca is an elegant Brett Beer that masterfully blends older, barrel-aged wild ales with a fresh, bitter saison. The extended year-long dry-hopping in barrels with NZ Cascade hops provides a sophisticated, integrated aroma of orange zest and lively floral blossoms. This botanical brightness interweaves with a dusty, farmhouse Brett character, offering notes of wet hay and aged wood. The addition of a bitter saison ensures a firm, structured bitterness that cuts through the balanced, vinous sourness. It is exceptionally dry and lively, showcasing the brewery’s signature ability to balance wild complexity with refreshing drinkability and bright citrus hop oils.
Appearance.3-6 SRM. Deep gold to light amber with a slight haze. Forms a rocky, white head with moderate retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity. Pronounced floral and orange zest hop character from the NZ Cascade. Deep farmhouse funk with dusty, earthy, and hay-like Brettanomyces notes. Subtle grainy malt and a faint, wood-derived vanillin.
Taste.Initial impression is crisp and bright. Integrated citrus hop flavors of orange peel lead into a rustic, farmhouse profile of earthy funk and dried hay. Malt is low, providing a cracker-like backdrop. A firm, present bitterness balances the light, lemony acidity. Finishes bone-dry with a lingering floral and citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, lively carbonation. Alcohol warmth is negligible. Very low astringency despite the firm bitterness; crisp and effervescent on the palate.
