Dieu du Ciel Apollo Pale Ale

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: English Pale Ale
Montreal, Canada

Amber color, with a beige head, mild floral hop nose, with a light citrusy, lime accent, and some grassy piney notes, with a mild toasted, caramel, biscuity malt aroma folows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, toasted, biscuity malt, raw grainy character with a flowery hop mild resiny notes, with some backbones of faint coniferous, cedary bitterness, leading towards a grassy, leafy hop bittering finish.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A pleasant peppery hops aroma with nice caramel malt base. In mouth, a good biscuitty malt with British hops, peppery notes, well balanced. Medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, April 8 2009.

In short: A smooth foresty and semi-dry pale ale. Nice session beer.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Almost clear dark orange body topped by a small off-white head
In long: Smooth bready malts with a nice soft caramel. Fruity notes of oranges and citrus fruits. All kind of foresty flavours in there that dry out the beer: conifers, tree bark, forest floor, tree roosts. Round and smooth, many flavour elements but far from intense. Mild Bitterness. Highly drinkable nourishing pale ale. Name after a new breed of American hops. Also the name a Greek god. I like greek god statues, most make me feel like I’m very well hung.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy amber body with low carbonation and a good white creamy head. Fresh hoppy aroma with grapefruit hints. Well balanced malty/hoppy taste that carries some grainy and fruity notes. Ends with a long bitter finish. Very well done.

Bu au brewpub le 11 avril 2009, en fut (20 oz). Ambrée cuivrée un peu brumeuse, moyen collet. Arome légèrement houblonné, peu d’amerturme et une touche florale. Goût d’houblon sucré, très peu d’amèrturme et plus facile à boire, un peu caramelisé avec une arrière goût faiblement amère. Cette bière N,est pas pour les gros tripeux d’houblon ou d’amèrturme!
