lamas (576), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA Jun 18, 2008 11.5 oz. bottle. Pours a murky, rust-colored amber body with a finger-thick tan head. A rich, malty aroma that features lots of roasty caramel upfront with some resiny hops underneath. Medium to full-bodied. A whole lot of caramel starts things off taste-wise. Finishes with some ample hoppy bitterness in the form of grapefruits and orange rinds. A little biscuity too. Nice balance.
BuckeyeSammy (385), New York City, New York, USA Oct 13, 2008 A little expensive at 5.50 for a 12oz. Floral hops, sweet notes throughout. Nice carbonation, crisp. A lot of fruity notes. Tangy hops, long lasting mild bitterness. Really great IPA. baggio (61), stockholm, Sweden Oct 13, 2008 Bottle@home,

A nice, balanced, IPA from Dieu Du Ciel. Wish i could get hold of more of these! Recommended! LilBeerDoctor (643), East Setauket, New York, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a murky light brown with a huge, thick foamy tan head that subsides fairly quickly. Aroma of rich caramel malt, bitter hops, light citrus, and coffee grounds. Flavor of sweet caramel malt, iced tea, and slightly hoppy finish. Nice malty IPA. fredandboboflo (635), East Setauket, New York, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of earthy malt with nearly-burnt bread, coffee, toffee, dried fig. Tropical fruits poke through from time to time. Flavor a complex blend of bitter notes (grapefruit, pine) with distinctly sweet notes (passion fruit and other sweet fruits) along with that rich, earthy malt that dominates the nose for me. Very nice brew. Defreni (519), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 12, 2008 Flaske. Mørk orange øl, med et fint skumhoved. Ikke helt frisk men selvom den havde været frisk er humlen ikke helt i balance. Ikke en af de bedre IPA men bestemt drikbar.
