goldtwins (3668), Nesconset, New York, USA Apr 15, 2008 Poured a clear red-copper color with a medium sized off-white head. The aroma is has some light citrus hop to it with some floral notes behind that. Mild caramel malt. Mix of malt with pine and floral hop notes. Mild bitterness on a dry finish. Light-medium bodied.
sebletitje (103), Tampa, Florida, USA 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. EithCubes (1715), Indiana, USA 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. k4df4l (132), DTown, Pennsylvania, USA 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. Imaena (145), Portland, Maine, USA Jun 25, 2008 Draught @ Mondial 08’
Deep amber body. Well balanced hops an light tangy malts. Interesting IPA. JB175 (1260), Holland, Pennsylvania, USA 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.
