Intense resiny pine aroma, fresh smelling and almost minty. Great tropical fruitiness. Nice round flavor. Very drinkable. More notes to come.... 17thfloor (1486), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 22, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown with big carbonation bubbles and a medium off-white froth on top. Sweet waxy malt, honey, and very fresh grapefruit hop aroma. First taste is honey, grapefruit and a little bit salty. Finishes with quite a bit of dark caramel malt, honey and pine. A very rich bold malt. Trademark Dieu du Ciel spiciness. Medium light bodied, lots of smoother carbonation. [anything garlic pairs well with this] TheJester (712), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

Copper brown with citrus, pine, caramel, and toast in the nose. The flavour is aggressive, but well balanced, with grapefruit and pine balanced by caramel malt. The finish is bitter and lingering. Decent body and appropriate carbonation. A solid IPA. VeloVampire (490), Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 4, 2007 On tap at the brewpub - came a dark reddish-brown with a very nice off-white head. Much darker than many IPAs I’ve seen. Huge citrusy, piney, grapefruit hop aroma, really PacNW styled. Flavour is delicious - hops, hops, hops, but also (as the darker colour would indicate) a good deal of malt in this one too, giving all those hops a straight and firm canvas upon which to paint their glorious pictures. Some more fir-tree presence in the flavour as well. Wonderful, wonderful beer. CelticBrew (696), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA

Aroma of hops, malts, and grapefruit. Flavour is both full bodied and bold beer. An excellent American version of IPA, I must admit. Sorry, most canadian beer to me is pussy beer, except for a few. This is a superb and wonderful ale from our friends in Canada. I would love to try it on tap. Awesome beer! corby112 (741), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 25, 2009 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 craftbeerdesign (755), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Sep 1, 2008 bottle. pours a deep copper/red color with a solid white fluffy head. some hop and piney aromas... wish it had a bit more on the nose. I almost feel this could be a IIPA, but it needs more aroma. Huge hop presence on the palate and through the finish.... nice and soft over the tongue with a good amount of carbonation. the deep caramel and malts come through as well as the beer warms. a very nice American style IPA from Canada... armando629 (986), Budapest, Hungary
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 3, 2009 Thanks MartinT! Deep hazy amber-orange body with a delicious tan lacing head. Fruity aroma with peach, citruses, the volatile oils of orange peel and of course: strong, fine resiny hop perfume. Some caramel and yeast in the nose too. Fine hops in the flavor(strong but not overpowered), fine malt and fruits, citruses and orangepeel feeling. Fine and strong bitter finish, but not an agressive, soon a well balanced aftertaste.
