Belgian Pale Ale 5.2 º 30 IBU

L’Ermitage

Temple du Ciel is a sophisticated interpretation of a Belgian Pale Ale, enriched by a delicate infusion of green and white tea. The sensory journey begins with an inviting copper hue and a rocky white head. The aroma balances bready, biscuity malts with the floral, slightly grassy fragrance of premium tea leaves and the concentrated sweetness of dried fruits like apricot and pear. On the palate, a soft honeyed malt foundation yields to earthy tea tannins and a complex fruity ester profile. It finishes clean and balanced, with a lingering herbal tea dryness that highlights its elegant, botanical character.

Appearance. Amber to copper in color with very good clarity. Topped by a creamy, rocky white head with excellent retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring bready and biscuity malt notes. Fragrant floral and herbal notes from the green and white tea infusion are prominent, complemented by fruity esters of pear, apple, and a distinct dried fruit character. Low spicy phenols and floral hops sit in the background.

Taste. Initial soft, smooth malt flavor with hints of biscuit and honey. Moderate fruitiness follows, showcasing the dried fruit infusion and Belgian esters. The green and white tea provides a subtle earthy and herbal complexity. Medium-low bitterness is well-balanced, leading to a dry, clean finish with a lingering tea-like herbal aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, polished texture. Carbonation is medium-high and lively. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. A faint, pleasant tea-derived astringency adds to the dry finish.
