RJ Le Cheval Blanc Rescousse (Wheat)

Brewed by Brasseurs RJ
Style: Wheat Ale
Montreal, Canada

Bottle (341ml). Via trade with - I think - MrAlain. Slightly hazy deep orange-amber with a very small off-white head - odd colour for an AmWheat. Smells like those candy cigarettes I had when I was a kid, funky herbal hops - goldings? - some grainy sweetness on warming, for these guys, not all that bad. The taste has elements of cereal grain, some of those herbal/funk hops, but nothing too much going on. Average body, a little sour and acidic, weak carbonation, slight sour grainy aftertaste - drinkable, but not much like an american wheat and not all that good either.

Opaque orange body with no head to speak of. Strong cereal aroma. Orange and cereal taste. Some floral hops but without any bitterness. Annoying soapy finish. Not good at all. Part of sales profits of this beer goes to a foundation for endangered species. With a beer of that quality they’ll be lucky if they raise enough money to feed a gold-fish for a week. 341ml bottle.

Disponible à l’S.A.Q. seulement. Une bonne bière de blé assé épicé et un peu riche.

Very hazy amber-orangeish hue, with a shy white head, yeasty, fruity notes of peaches, tangerines, spicy coriander, wheat malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate, with a juicy fruity tangerine flavor, maybe mango too, with a lingering yeasty wheaten character, leading towards a zesty spicy coriander and dry finish.

Orange color, thin white head that dissepear fast. Doesn’t taste too strong, its easy to drink and enjoyable for all. Agrumes and yeast spicy but not too much. Reminded me of another beer... that I like... but I can’t figure out. Anyway, a good one.

Édition 2005. Couleur orangée, extrêmement brouillée, presque pleinement opaque. Faible mousse diminuant rapidement. Arômes très minérale, écorce d’orange, levure ainsi qu’une touche de douces épices. Flaveurs de doux caramel et de levure, unidimensionnelle. Les notes épicées semblent rappeler le seigle et sont certainement plus dominantes que toutes forme de malt d’orge. Très mince en bouche, étalement très court, presque pas de carbonatation. Bouteille SAQ, Mai 2005.

[Bottle thanks to Boutip.] Realy clowdy brownish amber color, larger head, but it went down to normal size quickly. Aroma is realy nice and sweet. Heavy citrus notes laced with some wheat and yeast. Flavor is equally as sweet and yeasty.

Pours a hazy orange amber color with a thin white head. Aroma of cantaloup and wheat. Cantaloup and wheat are pushed by forcefull bubbles ending with a sweet finish. Light to medium body, creamy textures, very lively carbonation.
