Tommie Sjef as water 2021 - 1.5 L

This year's magnum is filled with a great blend of wild ales, aged for 1, 2 and 4.5 years in oak barrels. On the nose you'll find almost creamy Chardonnay notes and some minerality along with slightly sweaty notes (in a good way). The taste is fairly balanced. Salted lemons, dry apple peel, herbs such as bay leaf and thyme, a hint of oak and hoppy notes that give off a kind of sweetness. The beer is perfectly drinkable due to the pronounced bitterness and dry tannins and the interesting structure of the blend: it lacks a bit of backbone which actually helps to create a kind of open space in a good way. “like water” is excellent for extended maturation. I recommend aging the magnum for at least 6 months to several years.
