๐ป๐๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ : Triple Pearl et Golding de la Houblonniรจre Lupuline Hop Yard
Nous avons toujours รฉtรฉ fascinรฉs par le travail de l'Hermite et par l'incroyable constance et qualitรฉ des biรจres qu'ils produisent.
Ensemble, nous avons dรฉcidรฉ d'explorer l'utilisation du riz maltรฉ et de crรฉer une pale ale excessivement douce et facile ร boire. Les deux cultivars de houblons proviennent ร 100% de l'Outaouais et offrent de doux arรดmes de pelures d'agrumes et de fleurs d'oranger.
"Hiki" est le diminutif du mot japonais "Hikikomori" qui dรฉsigne des personnes se mettant volontairement ร l'รฉcart de la sociรฉtรฉ dans les grandes villes du Japon. Un clin d'oeil au brasseur Hermite!

473ml can, which is weird for collaborators Hermite - as they like their 355ml cans, and two of five cans in this 5th year anniversary are 355ml. Using two hops (Golding and Triple Pearl) which are usually spicier, but rice as the grain to calm this down. I feel the yeast comes out a touch more. A tad herbal nose with hints of wet socks. The taste shows a little more herb-grassiness creating decent dryness in the end. Fairly clean, very light golden-yellow colour with a frothy-bubbly white head, average stay and some good foamy-soapy lacing-ring. Some notes of apples, pears, but all-around an easy-drinking rice Pale Ale with a yeasty feel, and mild dry finish.
