Kleintje Eiber

Tap to rate

Kleintje Eiber, the little one of Eiber, was first brewed in 2020 to mark the birth of the brewers' daughter Suze. This Brut IPA borrows from champagne: it is dry and high in carbonation, with tones of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. At 7 % ABV it is made for toasting, and Eiber offers it as a gift for new parents or any other celebration.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate white wine notes reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, lending an elegant sophistication to the profile. Subtle citrus and stone fruit aromas emerge underneath, with a restrained but clean hop character adding brightness rather than aggression. The overall impression is crisp and refined, with no heavy malt or yeast-derived notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters bone-dry, with the high carbonation and crisp mouthfeel creating an immediate sense of effervescence and refreshment. Mid-palate develops subtle citrus and green apple notes balanced against a gentle, integrated bitterness that supports rather than overwhelms. The 30 IBU are deployed with restraint, allowing the wine-like character and clean fermentation profile to dominate.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
