Mijmer - Barrel-aged wild beer with 115g/L black currant and fennel seed.

Splashing fruits supported by a fennel seed body. Mijmer has been aging on the barrel for 27 months. In the nose you smell the fruitiness of the black currants and notes of vanilla, embracing the barrel. The black currants are picked at food forest De Nieuwe Hof and have macerated for 3 months in the beer. A subtle hint is added by the fennel seeds, which were roasted briefly. The seeds are harvested at de Ommuurde Tuin. Mijmer is a very complex beer while being very soft to the palette with only a smooth touch of sourness, even though its long barrel aging"

Pours a cloudy orange red body and a dense light pinkish head with good retention. Aroma's: sour fruit, berries (not necessarily sour), herbs,actually it makes me think of butterscotch a bit. Retronasal it's much more herbal, sourish, fruity, funky. Flavour is moderate sour and light sweet, funky. Light medium bodied.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Batch #3 2023. Aroma is tart berries with blackcurrant, brett funk, herbal notes from the fennel seeds, red and dark berries. Flavour is tart and medium sour with a dry conclusion. Medium body. Fruity, herbal, tart, funky, good dry sourness. Lovely blackcurrant.

Bottle 75 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque dark red with a small, rough reddish head. Distinct blackcurrant aroma. Medium body, a slight, initial sweetnes before the combined acidity of the berries and the beer hits you. A complex sourness with acetic acid dominating and some woody tannins. A complex and very refreshing fruity Sour. And it WILL give you heartburn! 010224

Bottle pour at MBCC 2023, pours an opaque bright cherry red with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out bright fennel, rustic saison yeast and red currant. Flavour is bizarre, with fennel, rustic saison yeast and a touch of jammy currant. Dry, spicy, herbal finish. This doesn't work.
