JMFG (1086), Florida, USA May 15, 2008 Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Cloudy dark yellow color, even white sopay head. Slightly sweet grainy aroma, mild floral notes, slight Belgian cast. Taste is slight earthy hops with some residual sweetness. Mild Belgian yeasty tastes. Quality, but not outstanding.
Geth_in_beer (663), Nova Scotia, Canada Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Sweet aroma of malt, wheat and sugar. Cloudy golden colour with a frothy, lively white head. Thick syrupy texture at first. Bitter, tangy with a little spice. Hint of floral notes. Bitter finish. Quality ale and very tasty. blutt59 (624), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 17, 2008 bottle, cloudy orange color, large foam head, nose is sweet fruit, peppery with a dry fruity light finish Two_Dudes (14), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Aug 15, 2008 Bottle from The Keg Liquors. Nice suprise from what is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries. Pour a cloudy orangey blonde. Aroma jumps out of the glass, presumably from the dry-hopping. Very lively palate (bottle conditioned?). Nice wild spice. Gorgeous fluffy head that lingers...and lingers...and lingers. Great beer. GAManiac (265), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Aug 14, 2008 Pours a bright, hazy yellow orange with a rocky white head that shows very good retention and sporadic lacing. The aroma starts much like a typical Belgian pale with yeast and sweet fruits, but there is a big pepper presence that stings the nostrils a bit. The taste has an even bigger peppery spice presence on top of the fruity hops up front and the yeast in the background. There is also a bit of bananas in the taste as well. The mouthfeel is pretty dry and peppery for the style with a bit less sweetness than I would expect. This is another unique offering from Dieu Du Ciel and one that has a strong spice presence to mix it up a bit. Very good. Miver (376), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 12, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured hazy yellow in color wtih a large white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, spices, and some esters. Tastes of fruity esters, bananas, citrus fruits, bread, pepper and other spices. This one was quite refreshing and nice. I enjoyed the hop character.
