Tommie Sjef Lieve
Other Styles 5 º
Tommie Sjef Lieve is a sophisticated Brett Beer that blurs the lines between farmhouse cider and natural white wine. The refermentation with Chardonnay grapes introduces an elegant vinous character, reminiscent of white peach and bright citrus. Long maturation on the skins imparts significant tannins and a structured, bone-dry profile. The wild yeast fermentation provides a nuanced funk of wet hay and aged wood, which unfolds as the beer breathes. Expect a refreshing, subtle acidity and a sophisticated, lingering finish defined by grape skin complexity and a crisp, effervescent mouthfeel that rewards decanting.
Appearance. Pours a hazy, pale gold (4–6 SRM). It features a fine-beaded white head with moderate retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by vinous Chardonnay notes of white peach, lemon zest, and green apple, intertwined with wild yeast funk resembling earthy barnyard and wet hay.
Taste. The initial impression is bright and acidic, moving into a complex mid-palate of tart grapes and orchard fruit. Low malt presence allows the funk and Chardonnay tannins to shine. Bitterness is low, finishing bone-dry and crisp with a lingering, wine-like grape skin character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation. Notable tannin presence provides a structured, slightly puckering astringency and a dry, clean finish. Alcohol warmth is negligible.
