Dieu du Ciel Dernière Volonté

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

clear golden pour, good amount of white head. Great aroma if hops, belgian yeast, and citrus with a touch of banana. Flavour is very fruity, lots of citrus from the hops, and a touch of spice. Insanely drinkable, just a top notch amazing belgian ale!

Huge, very dense & fine, just-yellowish head over hazy golden beer with an orange to amberish shine; well-carbonated. Quite hoppy nose, C-hops, but not as overpowering as from an APA or IPA. Clearly dry-hopped, with a bit of ureum, and some citruspeel aromas. Nice. Very dry & hoppy flavour, in the taste noble UK hops, rather than C-one. Gently, nice crystal malt and toasted notes, lightly sweetish creep in, counterweighed by a citrussy fruitiness. Very balanced. Medium bodied & very slick, discreet alcohol warming. This kind of hoppiness will take another decennium to be called Belgian, I fear. In the mean time, the beer is beyond reproach. Grand merci, Sylvain!

(Bottle) Pours a hazy golden-amber with a large rocky creamy off-white head. Aroma of herbs, plastic, mango, dried Turkish apricots, passion fruit, and biscuit. Flavor of toasted oats, floral, pear, herbs, apple, and orange peel. Nicely crafted and quite complex.

A golden hazy beer with a small white head. The aroma is bready malty with slight notes of smoke. Fllavour is sweet and spicy with coriander and candy sugar but also with a wheaty presence.

Bottle. Nice golden yellow pour with a slight haze, good size fluffy white head with great lacing. Very strong spicy aroma with some candy like sugar sweetness. Wonderful taste! Soft floral notes giving way to lots of spice, coriander and clove, and finishes with a sharp bitterness. Incredible foamy soft mouthfeel really lets you take it all in and accentuates the flavours that are here. Wow, this is really good. I wish I had a chance to try this at the brewpub - I have never seen it on until the bottles came out. Incredible;e, knocked my socks off.
