Cask at Dieu du Ciel, Montreal. Amber hazy, small to average and mostly lasting head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, fruitiness, some citrus and piney hoppyness, faint caramel. Body is medium, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, some fruitiness, some piney hoppyness, faint caramel. Finish is average, malty and dryish, faint fruitiness, bit sharp/soapy piney hoppyness.
