Dégustée et évaluée en mai 2010. De couleur blanche, brouillée, la mousse à grosses bulles a une faible persistance. Nez très agrume,très présent. En bouche, c’est une explosion d’agrumes et de gingembre. On ne goute presque plus à la bière. Les agrumes et le gingembre prennent toute la place. Elle présente tout de même un certain intérêt.

Clearish golden coloured body with a thinnish, one centimetre tall white head with some orange highlights. Aroma of pungent, very strong ginger notes with a bit of malt and some rice and sugars and that’s about it - but the ginger really stands out. Light-bodied; Sharp ginger flavour which draws out some maltiness and a bit of sweetness and a spicey heat. Aftertaste shows much more ginger than I’d expect, with a hint of rice and a bit of sweetness on the tail end. Overall, not such a great beer - the ginger is overdone and showing way too much of that and not enough of anything else. I sampled this 341 mL bottle purchased from Marche des Saveurs in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for CA$1.99 on 04-December-2010 sampled at home in Washington almost two years later on 19-November-2012.

Bought a 6-pack of this in a Hull convenient store. Wow... ginger, citrus and rice (written on the case). Pours a hazy golden colour with a foamy soap white head. Medium retention with little lacing. Mostly ginger is in the aromas, with notes of other spices. Same for the taste. A little of that rusty tasting hop with the ginger. Hints of the citrus are more present when tasted from the bottle. Pretty interesting spiced beer (more than witbier). Still, quite refreshing overall.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is spiced and grainy. Ginger. Citric, ginger soapy and spiced to herbal. Medium dry finish. Ginger, not my thing - this presents this somewhat different than other ginger flavoured beers - but still...
