Tommie Sjef Zes
Other Styles 7.1 º
Tommie Sjef Zes is a masterfully blended Brett Beer that showcases an intricate balance between vibrant youth and profound age. The presence of six-year-old components introduces a deep, refined funk characterized by wet hay, leather, and seasoned oak, while the nine-month-old portion lifts the profile with bright citrus and stone fruit esters. This synthesis results in a dry, highly attenuated character with a sophisticated aromatic profile of dried apricots and earthy barnyard notes. The elder threads of the blend provide a smooth, vinous complexity that underscores the beer's elegant, effervescent structure and nuanced, non-lactic acidity.
Appearance. Pours a deep golden to soft amber with a slight, hazy luminescence. The off-white head is moderate but dissipates relatively quickly to a fine collar, leaving light lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity and deeply layered. Prominent Brettanomyces funk presents as aged leather, barnyard, and dry straw, tempered by a bright bouquet of apricot, Meyer lemon, and overripe peach. Subtle notes of toasted grain and a whisper of oxidative nuttiness from the six-year-old component add significant depth.
Taste. The initial impression is bone-dry and crisp. Flavors of tart stone fruit and citrus zest dominate the mid-palate, followed by complex earthy notes of dusty cellar and seasoned wood. Malt character is restrained, suggesting toasted crackers. Bitterness is low, allowing the delicate, spicy Brett phenols and a faint, bright acidity to lead into a long, clean, and remarkably dry finish.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a lively, high carbonation that creates a prickly, refreshing texture. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, complemented by a slight tannic dryness from the extended wood aging, without any harsh astringency.

Zes is a special blend of wild ales aged for 1 up to 6 (!) years in oak barrels. It’s an hommage to a well made geuze. In the aroma I find Chamomile, marigold, roses, the skin of apricots, sea breeze and a very light oaky aroma and a slightly hint of earth, grass and white pepper from the hops.
