Elle laisse un léger col crème qui disparaît rapidement. Arôme de houblons floraux et fruités aux notes d’herbe fraîche, d’agrumes et de mangue. Goût plutôt amer, très houblonné, avec du caramel, des figues, des céréales torréfiées. Arrière-goût d’agrumes, de mangues et d’alcool cendrée. L’amertume s’accroche longtemps. La bouche est bien ronde, pétillante sinon piquante. C’est une bonne bière, qui aurait été excellente avec une amertume mieux dosée. Marsiblursi (1634), Göteborg, Sweden

Taste is malty, with some exotic fruits and some sourness. The taste last long, but kinda dry on the aftertaste. Nicely balanced. Another pleasant and accessible beer from Dieu du ciel!

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Wohlenbergs, Sønderborg.
Pours hazy amber with a medium head that is bubbly near the glass, and creamy in the centre. Slightly off white. Aroma is bready, some caramel as well as a lot of hoppiness. Pine and grapefruit dominate. Nice, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is very bitter, light caramel sweetness behind it. Pine hops are very apparent, with a slight hop burn in the finish. Much like a good English IPA with a good dose of American hops thrown in for good measure. probstk (1027), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 14, 2008 341 mL bottle from Jovi, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Medium mahogany, clear, moderate light tan head.
Aroma: Rye bread crust smothered in Seville orange marmalade; typical big, crunchy malts coupled with juicy grapefruit, pine hops; always a delectable combination.
Palate: Medium body and medium-full effervescence.
Flav.: Lots of toffee, caramel and brown sugar surrounded by juicey grapefruit and pine hops, a bit of cardboard, I think; lightly off-dry and moderately bitter with a slightly earthy, dry malt finish.
Not mind-blowing but very drinkable. hopdog (5549), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

Poured a deeper and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of fresh juicy oranges (like I just peeled one), caramel, other citrus, and floral. Tastes of citrus, toasted caramel, and light pine. Not overly bitter or hoppy; more of a balanced Amber (that I enjoyed!).Lacing left on the glass.
