Magnum shared by me at Ammutson. Reddish color, small white head. Smells Raspberries, grassy, lactic, very nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes of raspberries, grassy, bit citric, spices, light tannins. Finishes dry and light to medium sour with notes of raspberries, grass and citric notes. Very nice one

Another Tommie I was curious about, and with good reason it turns out. Lovely sourness, with a great amount of fruit. Refreshing acidity, bright, grapey, and some oak. Excellent balance. One of those beers you can keep drinking.

Been a while since I had some Tommie's, and I was extra curious for this Gueuze-ish idea. Nicely funky, woody, dry, and fairly fruity. Some light sourness, bit of minerality, and balanced well. No real wow, but very good stuff.

Small just off-white head over orange-copper beer, big bubbled. Floormop Brett, farmyard odours - what Americans call "funky". Bit of lemon, lightly sweetish impression, and some solvent. Again some solvent, then fruity as peach, nectarine, and very obvious sage. Lactic acid and some - citrussy - sweetness. Lipsmacking acidity, acidthinning and -burn. Low carbonation. We've had better from this source. The sweetness, and certainly the solvent are things better avoided. OTOH, the sage proved a welcome addition.

Pours unclear blonde, no head. Scent is floral, fairly intense, very herbal. Taste is tart, dry, oaky, very floral / herbal. malty, medium intense overall. Medium body and carbo. Still not convinced by Tommie sjef, the beers seem to be very one dimentional to me...
