Spice, Herb o Vegetable Beer 5.2 º

L’Ermitage

This vibrant Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer reimagines a refreshing Sour Ale through the addition of yellow habanero peppers and fresh thyme. The sensory profile is defined by an immediate lactic tartness that highlights the habanero’s natural aromatics of ripe yellow fruits and crisp bell pepper. The thyme provides a delicate, earthy counterpoint to the bright acidity. While the chili lends a gentle, prickling heat that tickles the palate, it remains balanced and highly drinkable, reflecting its neighborhood-centric inspiration. The result is a complex, savory, and zesty fusion where the base acidity and botanical additions from the yellow habanero and fresh thyme harmonize perfectly.

Appearance. Pale straw to golden yellow (3-5 SRM). Pours with a thin, white head that dissipates relatively quickly due to the low pH. Clarity is slightly hazy to clear.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. A clean lactic sourness provides the backdrop for distinct notes of fresh thyme and the fruity, tropical character of yellow habanero. Earthy herbal notes and a vegetal, bell-pepper-like aroma are present, with minimal hop influence.

Taste. Sharp, refreshing acidity leads, followed by the specific fruit-forward flavor of habanero peppers, reminiscent of mango or apricot. The thyme offers a savory, herbaceous mid-palate. Bitterness is very low, as the focus is on the interplay between tartness and spice. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving a lingering herbal note and a soft capsicum tingle.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with high carbonation that enhances the tartness. A subtle, warming tingle from the peppers is noticeable on the tongue and throat, but without harsh astringency or excessive heat.
