Aug 9, 2008 Copper color with a medium head. Solid orange and citrus aroma. Wow... strong malt backbone. Lots of caramel and almost bready. Toast? Plenty of citrus (orange and grapefruit) and enough bitterness that it’s not overly sweet, but very incredibly balanced.

Aug 9, 2008 Smells just like a fresh pink grapefruit. Clear dark amber/red color. Fluffy off-white head with some lacing. Not the most complex hop flavors, but very tastey never the less. Soft, smokey malt flavor in the background for balance. Very enjoyable and drinkable.

Aug 7, 2008 reddish brown with nice off-white head. nice hoppy nose. flavor of some crystal malt, some nice hop bitterness with some huge flavor that is straight cascade, which obviously is nice, but adding a few different hop aspects would make the beer more complex and memorable. very good ipa though

Aug 5, 2008 Alot of sweet malt in the aroma, almost 2IPA-like. Floral, grapefruit rind hops. The flavor is rich, but much drier than he aroma.

Aug 3, 2008 bottle from bauer wine and spirits in boston. i didn’t expect to see anything from dieu du ciel, so this was a pleasant surprise - and the IPA aroma was also a surprise. a half mix between the brutally bitter american hops and classic british hops. not palate-bruising but certainly bitter, and far bitterer than it smells. seems that beer fans owe it to themselves to visit this brewery. green hops characteristics and perceptibly malty finish, with a pleasantly hoppy aftertaste; nice beer.
VTHopHead (895), Barre, Vermont, USA
Aug 3, 2008 Sample at the 2008 VT Brewers Fest - Poured a cloudy dark amber in color with a medium white head. Aroma was medium of grapefruit and citrus with a hint of malty sweetness. Flavor was nice and hoppy with strong elements of citrus and pine hops. Definitely some malt underlying. Finish is long and bitter.
