Overall: Kind of like a thin bodied wheat version of an abbey beer.
elihapa (318), Connecticut, USA Jun 1, 2008 1/18/08 notes: on tap DdC. This was my favorite amongst lighter beers that night. Aroma of wheat, fruit, cloves and other spices. Features a grainy mouthfeel of medium thickness. Spicy flavor of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and some malt. Great beer, the spice is contained nicely by the grainy wheat. A real treat to drink. HogTownHarry (3286), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Feb 21, 2008 Draught. At Dieu du Ciel. Pale clear gold pour with a small white head. Aroma was spicy, fruity and lightly yeasty - like a pungent saison, very fragrant and clover-sweet. The taste was apple, alcohol, spice and sweet, sweet malt - good, warming. My note on mouthfeel: "alc! - sugary ... 3" - had a fairly long, moderately boozy sweet finish. blankboy (2627), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 19, 2008 Draught at Dieu du Ciel! Pours a hazy golden-orange with an average size diminishing white head. Fruity aroma along with spices and mild hops. Flavour’s sweet and yeasty with a good amount of spices, a bit of maple syrup and a light bitter finish. Medium bodied. This is very tasty stuff, I really enjoyed it. GregClow (2351), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 12, 2008 Draught (6 oz. sample) at Dieu du Ciel! Dark golden with a small white head. Aroma has a whole lot of cinnamon, with background notes of cloves, yeast and dark sugar. Flavour has a lot of cinnamon as well, with a subtle fruitiness, and a balanced finish. An interesting beer that I wasn’t sure of at first, but ended up enjoying. tupalev (2311), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 12, 2008 On tap at DDC. Dark yellow, medium white head, looks terrific. Great aroma - very spicy, some dark fruit and sugar. Fantastic taste - tons of yeast, light wheat, ginger, alcohol. Very spicy! Full bodied. Really nice.
