Sharp as blade of katana ginger. White as face of a beauty rice. Light as spring breeze touch of hops. All of them has been tied together as ancient scroll guarded by fire-breathing dragons commands. Well, ok, there were no dragons, the scroll is not that ancient, but we even haven’t released this oriental ale for a sakura-bloom season. It would be too much of a cliche, and we definitely don’t want that. It’s light, crisp, somewhat reserved, and mysterious as all Eastern cultures. Bronze at International Beer Challenge 2018

Bright clear gold beer, small off white head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts but clean and sweet enough for this brew. Light fruity ginger, never gets hot. Light crisp pine. Background note of floral fruits, edging towards perfumery. Light dry finish. Tidy spiced beer. Clean and easy drinking, would go well with a rich Ruby Murray or maybe a Thai.

8/9/2022. Bottle shared by Matt, cheers. Pours very pale bubbly golden with minimal head. Aroma is ginger ale, light citrus, lime and herb with a rice water edge. Fairly sweet with very light ginger warmth. Moderate body, oily and watery, fizzy. Quite okay.

Mein erster Gedanke bei diesem Bier war: Was ersteht man unter einem oriental ale? Beim ersten Schluck kommt auch schon eine Erklärung: Ein leichtes Bier, das mit Ingwer verfeinert wurde. Gut, das wäre damit geklärt. Es hat auf jeden Fall interessante Aromen und einen lustigen Abgang. Einzig an der Geschmackstiefe fehlt es mir. Durchaus cool, aber aromentechnisch gibts feinere.
