Elderflower multi-grain saison by Ermitage, tasted there from tap (twice). Creamy, dense, papery lacing, egg-white head, cloudy to even milky straw blonde beer with ochre hue. Aroma of elderblossom indeed (almost tofu-like as is so often the case when it is used in beer), dried lemon peel, sourdough, soggy multi-grains bread, green gooseberries, unripe melon, pear, passionfruit, camomile tea. Crisp, 'greenish' onset, gooseberry-like tartness, some soapy starfruit and lemon peel acidity, fizzy carbonation accentuating its sourness, very refreshing; doughy and grainy basis, with the spiciness of the rye and soapiness of the wheat recognizable. Drying fruit tartness distracts a bit from a floral and 'meaty' elderblossom effect in the finish, meeting with a lime-like hop factor that provides mild but effective bitterness in the end. American style farmhouse ale with classic Belgian aspects to it, very well executed and original.

Tap at the source. Hazy yellow with a white head. Floral, with a grass, lemon zest, white pepper. Not very much elderflower but still very nice.

Draft @ Ermitage Taproom, post-Quintessence 2018. Dorée paille, col épais blanc. Arôme est très bien fleuri avec un effet fleuri sureau bien rendu, le tout est suivi par des notes de grains, malt pils qui percent en rétro. Retrouve aussi un effet plus noble houblonné - tirant sur léger citronné. Palais est léger,n grains, pils, saison dans l'approche, le sureau confère une belle note de fraicheur sur une base restant sèche orientée grains. Rondeur de fin de bouche avec une fine amertume citronnée. Je note également un léger apport poivré de levure en toute fin de bouche.
