Dieu du Ciel Cascade Blanche

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Montreal, Canada

In short: An aromatic/perfumy hoppy witbier. Refreshing and original.
How: Tap at brewpub (first batch ever, spring 2009)
The look: Clear blonde body topped by a medium white head
In long: A strangely perfumy nose. I really didn’t get much cascade on the nose, or at least what I came to associate with cascade hops. Instead I got aromatic floral hops (garden flowers), bubblegum and some fruity notes. Taste improves on the nose. The pleasant fluffy body wheat, cereals, orange peels, astringent citric notes, a mild bitterness, a little spicy touch (not quite coriander but similar). This is a refreshing and original take on the style that I would almost call complex, a rarity with witbiers. The nose was a bit perfumy for me but I’m sure that a few after being plugged in the perfume notes were all gone. Will definitely have it again on a hot summer day and my rating will increase with the heat and humidity factor. So when I rate it a 4.0 you’ll see me smiling from a mile away and you’ll smell me from even farther.

Wow, this is like an IPA/Wit hybrid. Huge sharp hop aroma mixed with wheat, and yeast. Its the perfect marriage of both style, very interesting.

On tap at Dieu De Ciel. Nice light yellow big foamy white head. Nice aroma - wheat and a bit of citrus hops. Taste was excellent - so refreshing. Light wheat, well carbonated, and a nice touch of citrus cascade hops. This one worked for me - it would be tough not to session this the next time I was there.

2009-06-06. Crisp yellow body with a modest white head and lace (3+). Pleasant bitterness throughout, touch of citrus, lemon, grapefruit seeds. Mild pale malts with very light biscuit notes. Aroma is hoppy, citrus notes, light yeast I think? Citrus rind. (7+) Smooth average plus palate. Very drinkable. Rather nice, I quite like this one. Nice citrusy hops! Yumm! I did not get a lot of blanche character from it to be honest, but I quite liked it. On tap at the brewpub, Montreal

No aroma, hops and wheat together. Makes for a hoppy orangey variation of the witbeer. Still not a style that I have found to be very drinkable.So-so
