L’Ermitage

Le Pendu is a vibrant Hazy IPA that showcases a modern hop quartet of Enigma, HBC 586, Amarillo, and Bru-1. This aromatic powerhouse leaps from the glass with a saturated profile of tropical pineapple, red currants, and zesty tangerine. The yeast-driven esters complement the hop-derived stone fruit notes, creating a seamless juicy impression. A base of soft, bready malts provides a cushioned platform for the intense hop oils without adding distracting caramel tones. This beer balances a low perceived bitterness with a plush, pillowy texture, finishing with a refreshing, fruit-laden aftertaste that emphasizes drinkability despite its dense, hazy appearance.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM) with a distinct, opaque haze providing a soft shine. It supports a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and beautiful lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring a saturated mix of pineapple (Bru-1), mango (HBC 586), and bright citrus zest (Amarillo), accented by subtle red currant and grape notes (Enigma). Background malt is clean and lightly bready, supporting fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. High-intensity fruity hop flavors mirror the aroma, leading with tropical pineapple and stone fruit. Malt provides a soft, bready backbone that masks the low-to-medium bitterness. The balance is firmly hop-forward, finishing smooth with an off-dry, lingering aftertaste of tropical fruit and citrus oils.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notably smooth, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. Absence of alcohol warmth or astringency, maintaining a soft mouthfeel without being overly viscous or syrupy.
