Pale Ale 4.8 º

L’Ermitage

L'Ermitage Aegidius is a nuanced American Pale Ale designed as an approachable, everyday thirst-quencher. At 4.8% ABV, it expertly balances a blend of American and European hops to deliver an aromatic yet restrained sensory experience. The American hop influence provides soft citrus and floral notes, while European varieties introduce a refined herbal and spicy undertone. The malt profile remains lean and supportive, offering subtle hints of freshly baked bread and toasted grain. This combination creates a harmonious, balanced profile that is light and refreshing without sacrificing character, finishing with a clean, crisp bitterness that emphasizes its drinkable, session-friendly nature.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (SRM 5-7). Topped with a moderately large, creamy white head that shows good retention and leaves delicate lacing. Clarity is brilliant to clear.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a sophisticated interplay of hop characteristics. American varieties contribute soft notes of grapefruit peel and floral blossoms, while European hops add subtle herbal tea and spice. A neutral, grainy maltiness provides a clean foundation with low hints of white bread. Fermentation esters are very low and clean.

Taste. An immediate, bright hop impression leads with flavors of lemon zest, dried herbs, and a touch of pine. The malt presence is supportive and clean, displaying grainy and slightly biscuity notes that never overshadow the hop profile. Bitterness is moderate and firm but stays smooth. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering, clean herbal and citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation that provides a refreshing prickle on the tongue. Very low alcohol warmth, consistent with its 4.8% ABV strength. Overall smooth and highly drinkable with no perceived astringency.
