Dieu du Ciel Corpus Christi

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: American Pale Ale
Montreal, Canada

Strong rye, wet hay, light cotrus notes to the aroma. Opaque dark copper-brown with low, fine-bubbled, off-white head that diminishes to partial cover and thick ring. Pine, rye, orange flavours blend together nicely in the lead up to a fairly assertive bitterness. Smooth texture, lively carbonation fondles the tongue. On tap at the brewpub.

Aroma has some malt and hops, fuzzy pomegranate colour, with a tiny tan head. Taste is a warming malt experience with some hard to place spicing. Medium bodied, creamy smooth and a dry finish. Very good.

Small fine head, brown amber look, quiet looking beer. Light, faint aroma, earthy hop notes. Medium bodied, rye added smoothness to its texture which I always do like it. Nice body, light woody character and late bitter end. Runs a bit flat with time.

This was the special Beer made to commemorate Dieu du ciel’s 7th anniversary. I chatted with JF, the brewer about it, he admitted that he hoped people didn’t like it too much, because he used an obscene amount of rye to make it, and the mash bed was this gelatinous nightmare that was a bitch to sparge.
Dark amber, with a thick, graying head. Rye bread, peppery and spicy nose, but with perhaps a little permed hair in there, but I don’t think it was caused by infection, or else I would have picked it up in the taste quickly.
Whoh, I didn’t ask JF the amounts of rye involved, but this one was the most creamy, thick pale ale ever! It coated the tongue, mouth, uvula, oesophagus, etc. It was like kaopectate, but without the chalky taste. It did taste like pumpernickel, a subdued malt and hop profile and a surprisingly light finish. Quite a surreal Beer experiment!
