Commercial Description:
This beer style was created in the late 1990’s by some breweries on the west coast of the United States, and most notably by Rogue. It’s an extreme version of the American IPA. It’s a beer with strong amber hues and dominating hop flavours and tastes. It is however well balanced through the presence of a combination of malts. This beer is usually dry hopped, a tradition that is adhered to by Dieu du Ciel!. The bouquet of the beer consists of floral hops. In the mouth, the bitterness is quite strong, without being extreme, and the alcohol makes its presence known, without being domineering. The aftertaste is dry and less syrupy than a barley wine. Thus, it is a very complex and bitter beer, but always well balanced.

[1420-20080530] Tap. Ginger spice cookie dough aroma. Slightly hazy, brown amber body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Yeasty plant material flavour seems like seaweed or flower notes. Medium body. Weird flavour, reminds me of something akin to rotting lettuce.

An interesting blend of flavors, including fruits (apricot and citrus) with a note of bubblegum, too. Quite sweet, more enjoyable as an aroma than a flavor. (on tap at Dieu du Ciel, Montreal)

Avec la chaman, on apprend pourquoi le chanvre et le houblon sont de la même famille. En dégustant cette bière, vous aurez l’impression de prendre une pouffé de marijuana de la plus grande qualité sans les désagréments sur les poumons. Un goût épuré tout simplement géniale.
