Jul 16, 2008 11.5 oz bottle. Pours a good medium amber with a decent carbonation and a thick foamy white head and cool lace. Aroma is citrus hops, cascade, light metiallic from the cascade, lightsoapiness, god caramel malt backbone an some classic DdC earthy yeastiness which I like- almos therb and marijuana like. Flavor is more cascade metallic cat pee hops, mild caramel malt backbone, earth, more cattiness, light lemon rind, citrus even some lime-ade. Decent bitter character and good mouthfeel. Bitterness isnt as refined as I hoped and becomes a bit soapy. Nice solid IPA.

Jul 15, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep dark amber color with a medium sized lasting beige head. The aroma is a fairly heavy dose of sweet fruity hops with a bit of malt to back everything up. The flavor opens with nice citrus hops with an emphasis on orange and grapefruit. There is caramel malt to back up and somewhat balance the hops. The fruitiness disappears by the end giving way to a more general bitterness. Medium bodied and very drinkable.

Jul 14, 2008 Pours a beautiful dark amber with a tall, thick off-white head. Very sweet hoppy aroma of caramel and brown sugar. The initial taste is very sweet caramel malt and powerful, but it falls into a week body that leaves you ill prepared for the very bitter hop finish. The finish lingers nicely and both elements of the flavor are solid, the body just needs to be built up to the standards of this beer.

Thick brown with a nice creamy beige head and light watery lacing. Smell is fruity and hoppy and grassy with perhaps some rye or orange rind notes in there. Some caramel shows up in the finish. Nice palate. Overall, quite drinkable.

Jul 6, 2008 Color is amber, aroma is very sweet and floral with a nice touch of malt.
A good beer from Don du Ciel, but my least favorite so far. Would try another for a second review.
