Ermitage - Barberousse

Brewed by Brasserie Artisanale de l’Ermitage
Style: Amber Ale
Marienthal, France

Tap at brewey. Sweet malt & Floral hoppy aroma. Amber brown color. Reminiscent of a German dunkles, but really too hoppy to be one. Refreshing, though. Along with the fruity bitter hops, the sweetness of the malt forms a big part of the flavor. Not bad.

Light amber color. Light malt and caramel aroma, quite sweet, and showing a trace of infection. Confirmed when sipping, the light malt taste is spoiled by some sourness given by a fermentation problem; otherwise, it would be just drinkable.
