Dieu du Ciel 6e Soir

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: European Strong Lager
Montreal, Canada

On tap @ DDC. Pours pale amber with medium head. Some lacing. Delightful. Nose is fruity yeast and hops. Some sweetness and grapefruit. Taste is very fruity, some hoppy grapefruits. Quite sweet.

<b>In short: </b>A very big pilsner that remains just as drinkable as a good regular pilsner. Excellent
<b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy dark golden body topped by a off-white ring of foam
<b>In long: </b>Nose is like smelling a hay stack. A whole lot of malt in this one. Crunchy honeyed cereals abound. Sweetness is rather well balanced by a hefty amount of slightly spicy grassy hops with a light tree bark character. I still don’t think an Imperial Pilsner is a great idea but this one is the exception to the rule. Unlike most Imperial Pilsner this one remains as highly drinkable as an excellent regular pilsner except that it’s bigger and more intense. An example of excellence for this sub-type. …and on the seventh day God was hangover.

Verre de 6 oz, d’un fût lors du 10e anniversaire. Arômes de houblon floral et herbeux. Robe cuivrée, fine effervescence. Très croustillante et fine en bouche, le malt légèrement sucré mène à une finale amère de houblon herbeux et floral. L’alcool donne un léger côté sirupeux à la bière, sans être globalement très présent. Un coup de coeur !

A bright, clear golden, quite bodied of gold. A clear white head that was generous and dissapeared quicky. A rich smell of hops, and cereals. Taste: Oh my, heavenly balance for my palate. A great hoppish taste emerges from this beer, it hit you right away combined with a nice malty finish. Characterial, dry and ends up with a nice finish. If all lager could be like this

Bu au Mondial de la Bière 05. Forte, mais assé délicieuse, sucré et un petit peu réfréchissante.

Lightly hazy golden ale with an off-white head. Light malty aroma with notes of czech hops. Nice big pils with chewy malt, sweet notes of honey, vanilla, and czech hops. Rich and smooth. Mondiale 2005.

A hazy orange beer with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of caramel, and a slightly sticky mouthfeel. Nice.

Tap- RBSG 05. Pours a deep copper with a slight film of a head. Aroma is thick sweet pure pilsner malt, lightly bready with a touch of dms. Some alcohol and spice from the european hops are noticed throughout but it is mostly dominated by malt. Moderate bitter finish in the end. Relatively smooth overall but a bit hot in alcohol.
