Tommie Sjef Sici
Tommie Sjef Sici is an elegant Brett Beer that masterfully bridges the gap between a rustic farmhouse ale and a modern wild ale. This 5% ABV creation showcases a vibrant sensory profile driven by Citra and Simcoe dry-hopping, which imparts punchy notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and pine resin. The farmhouse yeast provides a foundational spicy complexity of black pepper, while the Brettanomyces introduces layers of ripe peach and a signature earthy, leather-like funk. Expect a bone-dry finish with a light, refreshing tartness that cleanses the palate, making this beer both intellectually complex and incredibly drinkable.
Appearance. Straw to pale gold (3–5 SRM). Pours with a hazy, opalescent appearance and a medium-sized, white, frothy head that displays moderate retention and leaves delicate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity. Bright citrus and tropical fruit from the hops dominate, offering scents of tangerine and mango. This is underpinned by a classic Brettanomyces profile of barnyard funk, wet hay, and stone fruit. Secondary notes of cracked pepper and earthy farmhouse yeast esters provide depth.
Taste. Initial impression is crisp and fruity. Flavors of pithy grapefruit and earthy pine from the hops meld with Brett-driven notes of apricot and a mild, leather-like funk. Malt is low, presenting as cracker-like wheat. Bitterness is mild to moderate, balancing the fruity esters. The finish is remarkably dry, clean, and slightly spicy with a lingering citrus zest aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, spritzy carbonation that enhances the perception of dryness. Very low alcohol warmth. Minimal astringency with a slightly creamy texture despite the high attenuation.
