Jul 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with creamy white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of grapefruit, grass and hay. Flavour is hoppy and caramel is present too. Bitter finish that ends up with a touch of hay.

Jul 6, 2008 Color is amber, aroma is very sweet and floral with a nice touch of malt.
A good beer from Don du Ciel, but my least favorite so far. Would try another for a second review.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle. Luscious, really overpoweringly fragrant hoppy scent, lovely flowers and lychee, pine, orange, grapefruit and thick caramel. Ruby-amber pour with a beige/lightly tanned head. Light body is extremely bitter but manageable enough to quickly come back for a second sip. Taste is out-and-out crackery, with a little funk and more citrus. There’s an herbal note off to the side, the earthy/flowery caramel remains, but the floral fruit has largely subsided. Pine also trailed off a bit, but there’s a bergamot note there that’s just exquisite. To echo some of the sentiments expressed below, great hop profile but disappointingly lightweight.

Jun 28, 2008 Aroma: Citrusy & resinous hops supported by sweet caramel malt. Appearance: Hazy amber with a 1/4 inch of tan foam. Flavor: Sweet and spicy with ample bitterness up front. More spicy/herbal/pine hop flavors in the middle with a burnt sugar background. Dry, lightly puckering finish. Medium body and carbonation. Overall I really enjoyed this from start to the bottom of the glass...the flavor was interesting and quite refreshing.

Jun 25, 2008 Golden color with a light citrusy hop aroma. Flavor gas some mild citric "C" hops with some bready-sweet malts. Medium mouthfeel. OK, but not really impressive.

Jun 24, 2008 Bottle courtesy of BlackForestCO as an extra. Thanks dude
Pours a gorgeous opaque dark amber with a lasting big beige head. Smell is sweet, tart maltiness and nice fruity hops. Bit of hibiscus smell too. Taste is fairly dry, and hoppy with not much sweetness. Mild bitterness with good floral hop flavor. Prickly and sticky mouthfeel. Nice, unique IPA. Thank again dude

Jun 18, 2008 11.5 oz. bottle. Pours a murky, rust-colored amber body with a finger-thick tan head. A rich, malty aroma that features lots of roasty caramel upfront with some resiny hops underneath. Medium to full-bodied. A whole lot of caramel starts things off taste-wise. Finishes with some ample hoppy bitterness in the form of grapefruits and orange rinds. A little biscuity too. Nice balance.
