Christmas Is Coming Late (This Year)
Brasserie De L'Ermitage

Pours a cloudy orange color with a froth, medium sized head.

Bursts of hops on the nose, leaden by fresh squeezed citrus, coated up by sweet papaya and juicy kiwi, balanced by a lighter note of bready malts.

Drinks soft with a well nuanced, late effervescence, showcasing a well balanced, light bodied beer.

Tastes of bitter, lemony hops from the very beginning, together with a soothing resin quality atop sweet tropical fruits and a drop of caramel. The dry hops assimilate the sweeter notes of the beer effectively and manage to produce a herbal flavor of garden spices. Turns a little earthier during its finish, with stronger pronounced white bread malts, gaining its sweet peak still almost solely from the luscious appearing fruity hops, resulting in a longer lasting lemon aftertaste.

Very tasty IPA, combining an intriguing fruitiness on the nose with an uncompromising bitterness on the palate.
