Dieu du Ciel Dernière Volonté

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Belgian Ale
Montreal, Canada

11.5 oz bottle from Kingdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy caramel golden color with a massive white, foamy head and clearly visible floaties. Excellent retention and lacing. Aroma is spicy, orange peel, ripe citrus, grain, bready yeast as well. Flavor is malty sweetness, spice, pineapple, banana with slight hoppy notes toward the end. Medium body with a slight bitter finish. Nice Belgian-style ale.

341ml bottle, with thanks to Glouglouburp for this great bonus! Pours a clear golden with a towering fluffy white head, excellent retention and lacing. Aroma is nice and spicy, with some light citrus and summer fruits. Flavor is spicy again, with more citrus and island fruit present than in the aroma. Quite quaffable and tasty. Thanks Dany!

Bottle. Surprisingly bitter and overly bitter at that, but enjoyable nonetheless. Hazy, yellow/golden body below a large, frothy and white head that lasts. the aroma is mostly orange, grapefruit and pineapple with notes of coriander. Hints of grain and dust with some banana and apples underneath it all. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter, but the bitterness dominates both of the initial flavor and the finish. You can taste fruit and spice. Medium body and a velvety texture. Plenty of carbonation. Nicely complex. Very nice.

11.5oz bottle: Cloudy yellow pour with a thick, mound forming, head. The warm nose notes lots of fresh bread, flavorful honey, ripe banana and apples, funky and earthy yeast. Expansive carbonation works with the creamy, yeasty body. Mild, grassy bitterness leads the charge in the body, followed by a rush of flavors that include more esthery apple and pears, toast, graham cracker and sweet vanilla. Very good and very complex.

Pours hazy golden with three fingers of pillowy white head. The aroma is floral, definite pineapple, nice peppery phenolics. Nice spicy flavour. Firm bitterness and copious English hop flavour keep it very crisp, while the Belgian yeast notes (pineapple, pepper) carry over strongly from the aroma. Some alcohol. Silky and light on the tongue. Slight acrid dry hop character, almost tobacco-y. A beer of delicate but exceptional balance - a Belgian blonde with the hopping of an English summer bitter. Not a style-maker; just a perfect bent beer.

brings a harsh flavor of malts and spices. takes it with smotth drink. still very good.

The aroma is fruity and yeasty with malt, coriander, hops and spice. The appearance is nice with a large foamy head and hazy gold color. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. This is a nice belgian style ale.

Frothy white head on a cloudy unpasteurised yellow body. Had to swirl the bottle at the end to get the sediment into the glass. Big citrussy, floral, yeasty, hoppy aroma. Complex flavor of spicy coriander, citrus, yeast and very hoppy. Another great beer from Dieu Du Ciel. They are making some great craft beers.
