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.

Avec la chaman, on apprend pourquoi le chanvre et le houblon sont de la même famille. En dégustant cette bière, vous aurez l’impression de prendre une pouffé de marijuana de la plus grande qualité sans les désagréments sur les poumons. Un goût épuré tout simplement géniale.

This IPA has the good flavor of citrus plus a very sweet taste, its cloudy orange color is appealing. Another great beer from the best of Montreal.

9mo aged cask at the brewpub, DDC 9th anniversary. Golden amber colour. Extremely flavourful. Very hoppy, but surprisingly smooth. Quite bitter, as it should be. The finish isn’t nearly as bitter as I expected. If the chalkboard hadn’t listed this as 8.5% I would never have noticed. Quite possibly the best beer I’ve ever tasted. Also had the 2yr bottled version, but it wasn’t quite as good - a bit too mellow for my tastes.

Sampled cask conditioned at the brewpub.
Hazy golden. Intensely grapefruity. Sweet and very hoppy with lots of grapefruit and rich, soft mouthfeel, Very bitter finish. Interesting with a DIPA with a focus on mouthfeel.

A dark ruby beer with a good beige head with medium retention. Smells of hops, flowers, very floral. her taste is very floral, hoppish, with a shy bitterness, actually it is like drinking some flower. A good mouthfeel but the floral part down points in term of drinkability.
