L’Ermitage

L'Ermitage Höpzi is a vibrant American IPA that showcases the technological edge of frozen fresh hops in collaboration with Yakima Chief Hops. The sensory profile is defined by an explosion of exotic fruits, driven by a classic trinity of Simcoe, Mosaic, and Citra. Expect a rush of bright mango, passion fruit, and citrus zest, anchored by a subtle resinous pine undertone typical of fresh-picked cones. A clean, pale malt base allows these intense hop volatiles to remain front and center, leading into a crisp, dry finish. This beer captures the essence of harvest-style aromatic intensity with modern precision.

Appearance. Pours a brilliant medium gold with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing. Clarity is high, with only a very faint, luminous haze from the heavy hopping.

Aroma. Intensity is high and hop-forward, dominated by tropical fruit notes of mango and papaya. A secondary layer of resinous pine and citrus zest adds complexity. Malt character is low and neutral, presenting as a clean, grainy scent without caramel.

Taste. Initial impact is a wave of citrus and tropical fruit flavors, followed by a firm, clean bitterness that provides structure. The mid-palate reveals light bready malt support, but the balance remains decidedly bitter. Flavors of grapefruit, berry, and pine needles linger into a dry, refreshing aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the hop oils. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated.
