American IPA 6 º

L’Ermitage

L’Ermitage Le Mat is a vibrant American IPA that showcases a sophisticated interplay of New World hops. A potent bouquet of tropical fruit led by Galaxy and Vic Secret offers intense notes of passionfruit and crushed pineapple, while Amarillo adds a bright layer of sun-ripened orange and floral undertones. The sensory experience is anchored by a clean, lean malt profile that provides a crisp stage for the hop oils to dominate. It pours a clear gold with a persistent white head, leading to a punchy bitterness and a dry finish. Refreshing and aromatic, it captures a modern, fruit-forward hop aesthetic.

Appearance. Medium gold color (SRM 7) with brilliant clarity and a slight, transient haze. Features a medium-sized, frothy white head with excellent persistence and intricate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring pronounced tropical notes of passionfruit and pineapple. Amarillo adds a distinct citrus layer of grapefruit and orange peel. A low, clean, grainy malt sweetness provides a neutral background, while the fermentation profile remains characteristically clean.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and citrus fruit flavors. A low, grainy malt character offers subtle support without sweetness. Hop bitterness is firm and high, balancing a dry finish. Flavors of resinous pine and citrus zest linger in the aftertaste alongside a clean fermentation character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly oily hop texture. Carbonation is medium-high, creating a lively mouthfeel. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
