Palate: Dry finish, creamy mouthfeel, medium body, long finish, and nice all the way down
Overall Impression: My second beer from Dieu du Ciel, and they are 2 for 2 for sure! Between these guys and Unibroue I guess I need to drink more Canadian beer... Anyway, as for this one, I’m impressed! This is a beer I could drink a lot of, and at 6.5% I probably really could drink a lot of it. A very tasty brew for sure, well down by our neighbors to the north.

On draft at the new Pizzeria Paradiso. Sample fro Orr - thank you. Light golden color, white head. Aroma of flowers and grass. Malt and caramel taste, nicely balanced with hops. Bitter edge and finish.

Pours a cloudy, very dark amber/ chestnut brown color with a HUGE foamy tan head that settles into a lacing that lasts throughout. Malty aroma with a floral hop presence. Very well-balanced with a nice malt bacbone countering the bitter hops. Very hoppy up-front with some chocolate, carmel maltiness and a dry, bitter hop finis

341 ml bottle from Premier in Halifax. Pours a murky brown/gold with moderate, slightly off-white head. Assertive hoppy nose (citrus and pine) with nice caramel malt backing for sweetness. Malt profile readily apparent in flavour leading to fruity hops. Medium+ body, fine carbonation, bitter finish, sticky mouthfeel. Quite nice.

Bottle. Pine and citruspeel nose. Clear amber, creamy golden head. Delicate resiny hops on maple sirup. Light smoke, peach. Mellow light sparkly chewy mouthfeel. Peach retronasal.

The look of this beer is range but with a slight haze to it. This beer pours a nice and creamy head. The initial flavor a mixture of hoppy bitterness you expect from a typical california ipa with some slight caramel. The caramel becomes more apparent on the aftertaste. This creates a nice mixture that keeps the beer from being too bitter or too sweet. The taste is quite exceptional, mostly due to how well it was balanced out. I’ll admit I absolutely love IPAs so my rating might be a bit skewed.

Pours a very hazy reddish orange with a two finger creamy yellow head.Smells a little oxidized, sweet caramel malt, citrus rind, past its prime in the aroma. Flavor shows the same, sweet, citrus rind bitterness, oxidation, some alcohol, a tad earthy. Mild carbonation.
