Vinous Series: Hermitage

$24.00

Sour IPA with milk sugar, blackberries, blueberries, dark plums, red cherries, cherry wood smoked sea salt, fresh ground white pepper, and lavender flowers.

Hermitage is part of our Vinous Series, where we deconstruct the aromas and flavors of famous wine grapes, with a focus on the famous regions they are grown in. Named after small hilltop of vineyards in the Northern Rhone Valley of France, and the most prestigious area in the world for growing Syrah. Syrah from the northern rhone is powerful, with deep, dark red and black fruit character, notes of scorched earth, smoke, white pepper, purple flowers, and wild herbs. Our first batch of this was WILD, and a bit polarizing, naturally. For this batch, we dialed in and integrated each flavor and aroma to the point where it is all in harmony. The layers of fruits take center stage, and each aromatic ingredient is present, but not overpowering the other. The addition of a touch of German smoked malt, in addition to smoked sea salt, give you just the tiniest hint of smoke and roastiness. The pepper and lavender subtly integrate with the beer, adding to it's complexity. An adventurous beer that everyone just doesnt stop asking us to make!
