La Source Beer Co. Chimere

This elegant hybrid bridges the worlds of brewing and viticulture, layering vinous complexity over a wild Berliner Weisse base. The addition of lees from 'Belga Sbagliato' wine provides a subtle textural depth that balances the sharp, refreshing lactic tartness of the base style. Aromatically, the beer is defined by the distinctive Hallertau Blanc hops, which impart clear notes of white grape, elderflower, and gooseberry, mimicking the profile of a fine sparkling wine. The result is a sophisticated, light-bodied ale where the bright acidity and delicate fruit esters meld into a crisp, exceptionally dry finish that emphasizes finesse and refreshment.
Appearance. Very pale straw to light gold (3-5 SRM). Large, white, fizzy head with moderate to low retention. Clarity ranges from clear to a slight, elegant haze due to the contact with wine lees.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a dominant vinous character. Prominent notes of gooseberry and white wine grapes from the Hallertau Blanc hops. The underlying base contributes a clean lactic sourness and a faint, bready wheat malt profile, complemented by a subtle, creamy yeast character from the wine lees.
Taste. High initial impression of bright, citrusy acidity and tart green grapes. The flavor profile is centered on the white wine character of the hops, offering elderflower and stone fruit notes. Malt is low and supportive, providing a light crackery wheat backbone. Bitterness is very low, allowing the tartness to provide balance. The finish is bone-dry and clean with a lingering, refreshing vinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Light body with a prickly, high carbonation that enhances the refreshing qualities. Low alcohol warmth. Minimal astringency, though the acidity provides a sharp, mouth-watering sensation with a slight, smooth creaminess from the lees contact.
