Slotbier Chambière

Netherlands·Bière de Champagne
Tap to rate

A festive champagne-style beer from Zeist, available since December 2022: skins of the Souvignier Gris grape from the local vineyard Hoog Beek en Royen go into a blond beer fermented with champagne yeast. White grape and apricot lead the aroma, the taste is fresh and tart with physalis, and the finish dries out yet stays soft. 5.5 % ABV, brewed at the Gooische Bierbrouwerij in Hilversum.

◌ Aroma

White grape and apricot dominate the nose, lifted by the champagne yeast fermentation. Subtle stone fruit and dried orchard notes emerge beneath, with a hint of biscuit from the Malz. The overall impression is bright and festive, leaning toward white wine aromatics rather than traditional beer spice.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and tart, with physalis and green fruit acidity leading the attack. Mid-palate builds a gentle fruitiness with peach notes and a touch of spice, while maintaining freshness. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the wine-grape character and subtle bread notes to shine through without dominating.
