Dieu du Ciel Corne du Diable

Just tortured myself and Leah by watching David Garrett - the worst thing I’ve ever seen on PRB - how can one say that with the quality programing they put out?
Poured out a nice thick tan cap that really sticks like mad to the glass. Damn, this is a very dark IPA, hazy as all git out (hahahah! take away my medication!) but still in the orangy category. Straight up aroma - sweet tangerines, grapefruit, weak spice, not-sweet caramel malt and resin. The taste is very west coast. Tons of citrus (GF mainly, lychee, orange), crushing bitterness hides some of the quieter flavours, backbone of caramel malt, some pepper maybe. Almost medium bodied. Bitter throughout. Good finish on every sip with a touch of fruit that lingers. Good stuff but nothing to sell your kids on the Black Market for.

Bottle triple blind taste test with Simple Malt IPA and Cascade Plus IPA. This is my favorite of all three quite like the dogfish 60 minute I’ve tried. Soapy aroma, malts, citrus and extreme hops. Taste is so bitter its peppery, sharp bitterness fits like a glove.

Roasted malt and citrusy hops dominate a sweet aroma. Somewhat unbalanced palate. Odd aftertaste. Ƙ/9/09)

Bottle @ Bar Volo: Pours amber, middling white head. Soapy, pine aroma wmakes way to aggressive hopping in the flavour, but with an interesting pine, pepper and caramel aftertaste. It’s excellent, and I’d love to try it on tap should I ever make my way to the brewery in Montreal. :(

Bottle thanks to duff in the rake at grants leaving night. Alround rating: Cramalt, grassy and peppery bitterness, lychee and orange peel fruityness. Good stuff.

My go to IPA (considering I’m 500 meters from the brewpub). There are relatively few American IPA’s here in Quebec that are true to style. DDC’s example is one of the best. Big huge grapefruit hop flavor and aroma balanced by an overly caramelly body. Great.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a hazy strongly carbonated brown colored body and thick foamy lacing. The mild aroma was brown malt. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The nice flavor contained notes of caramel and brown malt. A decent one that I would consider buying again. Quite quafable.

Pours a rusty amber with a small head. Floral nose. Very hoppy bitter flavor with notes of caramel and pepper. Dry, bitter hop finish.
