Commercial Description:
This beer style was created in the late 1990’s by some breweries on the west coast of the United States, and most notably by Rogue. It’s an extreme version of the American IPA. It’s a beer with strong amber hues and dominating hop flavours and tastes. It is however well balanced through the presence of a combination of malts. This beer is usually dry hopped, a tradition that is adhered to by Dieu du Ciel!. The bouquet of the beer consists of floral hops. In the mouth, the bitterness is quite strong, without being extreme, and the alcohol makes its presence known, without being domineering. The aftertaste is dry and less syrupy than a barley wine. Thus, it is a very complex and bitter beer, but always well balanced.

Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub. A very good bitterness, a double pale. Well malted, just in case. Nice citrus flavour comes through just fine, there is a good mouthfeel. Foamy mouthfeel, carbonation and temperature just right.

On cask at Dieu du Ciel. Pours a reddish orange with a thin to medium tanned white head. Big grapefruit, citrus, and pine notes on the nose. Medium bodied, sweet, and with a hint of alcohol, and almost a note of bubblegum. Ends with a nice bitterness.

Very interesting beer, quite regular at the brewpub on Rue Laurier. A lot of spices and floral subtilites in the taste which is very malty and with a very strong bitterness. I also had a Sainte-Flanelle, another DIPA, a special brew, that was smoother although with the same ABV. This chaman is a very powerful one, with unsubtle subtilities exploding out everywhere. A very good beer but If you go soon, try Sainte-Flanelle, that uses a different type of hop and that is temporarily available. ADDED: Bottle, batch #84; a lot smoother, hoppiness much more discreet but very warming, especially in july... Kiss rocked!

Mahogany pour with a nice head. Aroma is heavy with orange and hops. Flavor is very nice, with sweet citrus continued, floral notes, and a sticky palate. very nice brew.

On tap, at DDC brewpub. Appears clear orange with a medium-sized, white head, and served in a tulip glass. Aroma of intense floral hops, lemon citrus, and some pine. Flavor matched aroma, along with a juicy-sweet malt backing, with lent a touch of uniqueness to this brew. The overall result was a delicious, bold, hoppy beer that was truly delicious to drink. Dieu du Ciel succeeds again, in their always modest, yet highly innovative way.

DDC out of someones glass outside the pub, that was really freaking awesome that i was drinking outside. Amber body with light floral hoppiness. Dry finish with some pine and bitter flower. Decent.

Tap at the DDC 10th Anniversary Party. Burnt auburn pour. Flavor is a combination of PNW hops -- lychee, grapefruit notes -- and mellow pale malts. No sweetness, but still a good body. A bit biting, chocolatey, malty aroma, with pine and plywood.
