Another Dieu du Ciel that is simply fantastic. OK, if you get the bottle bottom lees in your glass, as I just did, the look is awful but who could care if the taste is great? Well, I still do a little especially with this bottle because ther’s so much, like if I had mixed the beer with flour. Golden-yellow color, lasting laces of foam, but what matters, the taste, is really delicately sweet, fruity, slightly bitter and even more in the finish. There’s something reminding me of Orval (is it the yeast?). Both are very good although a little different.

Bottle. Pours a dull orange with a frothy white head. Aroma is spice, hops, citrus, and other fruit. The taste is pretty bitter up front ending in a citrus, fruit, and yeast characteristic. Crisp finish overall....solid beer.

Hazy dull orange pour with frothy egg shell colored head , and drippy lace. Citrus, tropical fruit, and spice. Hoppy upfront with a dry spicy, and crisp finish.

11.5 oz. Hazy orange pour with a sticky white head. Smells great, and fresh. Hops, orange zest, yeast, pineapple, marmalade. Flavor is less exciting - pithy citrus in the middle with a mild, watery finish. Sort of a belgiany IPA I guess - balanced, and I don’t really have anything bad to say about it.

11.5 oz brown glass twist-top. No freshness date. Bottled conditioned. Appearance: Nice golden hue with hints of amber. Sudsy white head which grips the Duvel tulip. Lots of particles even though a gentle pour. Nose: Banana peel, spicy yeast notes, a little white pepper, sweet orange. Palate: Moderately carbonated given the conditioning. Wow! Spicy on the back, lots of black and white pepper notes dancing with some earthy and fruity flavors. Green banana, leaves (wet and dried), tree bark, and some citrus. A really dry finish. Notes: Wasn’t impressed right up until I put the beer in my mouth. Aroma/appearance were decent enough, but the spicy pepper thing on the palate really won me over. The finish is a little odd, and reduces some of the "drinkabilitly." A good beer.

Crushed with Jakebra. Nice nose. Some cloves, other spices, sweet malts. Flavor is about the same, not quite as spicy, but still just as nice with a great, dry finish. Enjoyed drinking this one.

Pours a nice dark-tea body with visible sediment chunks. Nose is strongly belgian but taste is more hoppy than a belgian; probably the British style coming through.
