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.

Verre de 12 oz en fût, au Broue-Pub de Montréal. Arômes puissants de houblon résineux et de caramel. Robe orangée, belle mousse. Assez sirupeuse en bouche, le houblon résineux est très présent et crée une très belle amertume. Présence réchauffante d’alcool. Agréable à boire. Version 2005, vieillie trois ans lors du 10e anniversaire: L’amertume est complètement disparue mais le côté aromatique du houblon demeure présent. Est devenue un barley wine.

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.

En fût, brassée en 1997, donc viellie d’un an, bière trouble de couleur dorée jaune laiteux, nez caramélisé, drole de finale caramélisé, ronde et agréable.

[1420-20080530] Tap. Ginger spice cookie dough aroma. Slightly hazy, brown amber body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Yeasty plant material flavour seems like seaweed or flower notes. Medium body. Weird flavour, reminds me of something akin to rotting lettuce. <br /><i>&#40;&#64; Dieu du Ciel&#033;; Montreal, QC&#41;</i>
