Tommie Sjef Cassis-braam
Fruit Lambic 5 º
This Wild Specialty Beer from Tommie Sjef showcases a masterful blend of aged wild ales refermented with a generous addition of black currants and blackberries. The sensory profile is defined by a vibrant, wine-like complexity, where the deep, earthy musk of black currants meets the brambly, floral sweetness of blackberries. A sharp, bright lactic acidity cuts through the rustic funk of the fermentation, which contributes notes of aged leather and hay. The result is an intensely dry, effervescent experience that highlights the raw, tannic structure of the fruit skins against a subtle, well-integrated wood-aged background.
Appearance. Deep ruby-purple to violet with a hazy, nearly opaque clarity; the head is a pale pink with moderate to low retention, leaving light, fleeting lacing.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromas of pungent black currant and earthy blackberries. Complex wild character provides notes of horse blanket, hay, and old leather, backed by a sharp, lemony lactic tartness and a faint hint of neutral oak.
Taste. Initial impression is sharply tart and bone dry. Intense fruit flavors of cassis and bramble berries are supported by a complex, funky fermentation character. Lactic acidity is prominent but well-integrated, providing a bright snap. No hop bitterness or flavor is perceived; the finish is long, dry, and acidic with lingering berry tannins and earthy minerals.
Mouthfeel. Light-bodied with high, prickly carbonation that provides an effervescent quality. A notable tannic astringency from the fruit skins and seeds enhances the dry perception. No alcohol warmth is felt.
