Les Brasseurs De Montréal Chi Orientale

Clear amber gold, bubbly, light medium head, dissipates quickly. Clean lovely ginger aroma, lime. Clean spicy ginger flavor. Effective warming effect. Very nice. I continue to be surprised by low scores from really nice Canadian beers.

341ml bottle, cloudy honey gold hue, with a fluffy white head, yeasty, zesty citrusy, fresh grated ginger spicy nose, with some gingerbread, faint lemongrass accent, with some light wheaty, pale malt notes and some lemon, grapefruit, lime peel fruitiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, spicy, spritzy, fruity, zesty, citrusy, ginger character, with a big lemongrass, grated ginger, gingerbread flavor, with some grapefruit, lime, spicy coriander notes, leading towards a citrusy, lemony, lime, spicy ginger, lemongrass finish.

bottle, excellent hazy yellow with 1 1/2" foam, aroma has strong lemongrass and ginger notes, flavors is silmilar with some wheaty texture as well, different but good

Draught. At Mondial 2009 - day 1. Hazy yellow pour, average lasting white head. Aroma - pungent ginger, very strong, floral bitterness perhaps, but lovely ginger character. The taste is also floral, all I can say is pungent - grabs your tongue, yells "ginger, mofo!!" - maybe some jasmine in there too. Light and lively body, long spicy/floral/ginger linger - a real bite, a real treat - we all kept going back for more, we even brought six-packs to take home to Toronto on the train.

341 ml bottle in a taster 12-pack from Trappe a Fromage, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. JL 04/09.

App.: Slightly hazy golden, so-so white foam. Aroma: Strong, stinging, lemony ginger, a little biscuit malt, lime. Palate: Medium body and effervescence. Flav.: Peppery, lemony ginger, a touch of toast, a little lime, slightly earthy; dry with almost no bitterness.

Interesting, but not in large quantities.

[2233-20090605] Tap. Sweet strong ginger aroma that is powdery and fresh. Hazy, light yellow brown body with a quick foamy white head. Super ginger-soaked beer flavour. Medium body is tangy. Lovely, could pair well with sushi!

Bottle. Pours pale yellow with a small head that instantly disappears. Nose is big ginger. Very big ginger. Taste is, again, big ginger. I’m really not into ginger (not in that amount anyway) so no thanks.

A hazed blonde alwe with a thin white head. Pleasant aroma of ginger and citrus grass. In mouth, a very citrusy ale, with citrus grass, wheat. Pleasant. On tap at Mondiale 2009.
