Feierbiest

Tap to rate

A Festbier with a soft malt base, German hops that add a hop touch and light spiciness, and a little more body than a pils. Jopen brewed it as Chapter 10 of its 2026 Chapters series with Lost and Grounded Brewers of Bristol, with whom it already made a collab in 2018. Magnum, Mittelfrüh and Saphyr hops, 5.7% ABV.

AI-generated sensory profile for Feierbiest

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, grainy Malz notes that form a welcoming foundation, quickly joined by refined noble-hop character from Magnum, Mittelfrüh and Saphyr. A subtle herbal spiciness weaves through, reminiscent of black pepper and light floral undertones, creating an aromatic profile that is both inviting and layered.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a smooth, clean malt sweetness that builds into a fuller body than typical Pils, giving the beer presence and roundness. Noble-hop bitterness arrives mid-palate with restrained spiciness, balancing the Malz character without overwhelming it. The finish remains dry yet approachable, with gentle hop resin and a faint bready note lingering.

The finish is medium-length and smooth-drinking, with hop bitterness fading gracefully into a dry, crisp aftertaste. A light bready warmth persists, making the beer refreshing and easy to return to.
