About This Beer
Sipping The Holy Hermit is about as close to experiencing Nirvana as I’m likely to get. When this Citra and Amarillo Hop-soaked brew hits my taste buds, it’s practically transcendental!
As notes of tangerine and peach flow across my palate, I slip into a state of blissful relaxation. When the flavors shift towards tropical mango and pineapple, I feel all the stress of the day melt away. Finally, a bit of malty, graham cracker-like sweetness on the finish reminds me just how delicious life can be. In that moment, I am one with the hops.
Tasting Notes
A super fluffy body showcases big flavors of peach and tangerine. Notes of mango and pineapple follow, ending with a malty, graham cracker-like sweetness. Just watch out for that 8.5% ABV — the brewers hid it so well, it’s likely to sneak up on you!

Moonraker is killing it; this makes four offerings tasted, all 4 star and above. Just the right bite blended with smoooooth juiciness.

This brew drinks like silk feels on your skin. SMOOTH! Great flavor and not boozy at all. I would session this if it weren’t 8.5%.

Daily Corona battle. Hot day for November edition. This is peachy dank hoppy deliciousness. Really digging Moonraker. Candy sticky with plenty of hops to clean up the dry finish.

Apparently there is an ‘original hermit’ but this is a wholly jacked up version. First sip caught me off guard with what a assume is a buzzy bitter Amarillo influence. Leveled off mid way, and score adjusted. H Cow.

Juicy with mild hop presence on the back end, yet less robust than anticipated.

can’t taste the 70 IBU’s. Mango and pineapple with a smooth finish. Just had a Super Chronic from Moonraker prior to my Holy Hermit. Gotta try more from

Tropical and hoppy in the nose. Lots of pineapple and papaya on the palate giving way to smooth, bright, resiny hops. Pretty clean, soft finish.
