Пиво Als Water - Tommie Sjef

This year’s magnum is filled with a great blend of wild ales, aged for 1, 2 and 4,5 years in oak barrels. In the nose you will find almost creamy Chardonnay notes and some minerality together with slightly sweaty notes (in a good way). The taste is quite balanced. Salted lemons, dry apple skin, herbs like laurel and thyme, a hint of oak and hoppy notes which give off a sweetness of sorts. The beer is perfectly drinkable because of the pronounced bitterness and dry tannins and 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. “als water” is perfectly suitable for extensive ageing. I recommend to age the magnum for at least 6 months up to several years.
