Dieu du Ciel Dernière Volonté

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Belgian Ale
Montreal, Canada

Thanks MartinT! Nice hazy golden appearance with freaky sediment, medium white lacing head. Fantastic aroma of hops, resin, some caramel and fruits. Resiny mouthfeel too with hop, some citrus and orange peel taste, fine malt in the background. Dry hoppy finish, aftertaste. Yes, the beer is a mix of belgian and english brewing traditions. Fine!

pale yellow color with a big head, the aroma is somewhat antiseptic with mild clover and honey aromas and some obvious hops. The taste reminds me of a glacier spring that a spruce tree fell into.

Bottle thanks to gethinbeer. Pale golden amber beer. Aroma is lovely. Soft zesty hop aroma. A light Belgiany maltiness and a bit of light bubble gum aroma as well. There is a bit of zesty hop aroma along with a bit of citrus. A kiss of lemon peel and a light perfumy zestiness. Fruity and lightly spicy hops. Earthy/herbal hops over a touch of crackery character. Quite spicy and herbal with a fairly hoppy finish. This is really lovely, complex stuff.

12 oz bottle. Hazy blonde in color with a medium to large lasting white head. Aroma is phenolicy, bready, and earthy belgian yeast with a touch of esters, vanilla and earthy hops. Taste is lightly estery and moderately phenolic with alot of bready pils malt, mild citrus, vanilla. Moderately hoppy with a smooth bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, slightly creamy texture. This one of the best belgian pales I’ve had.

Bottle: Pours a hazy gold with a mediumish white head. Aroma, bananas, bubble gum, some pepper, cloves. Flavor, bready, yeast, fruity notes, bananas, wheat, cloves. Lively carbonation, light bodied, with a sweetness on the back end along with the spiciness.

Epicer (clou de girofle et poivre) et fruiter (bananes, ananas). L alcool vient rechauffer un peu. Bonne. Spicy (clove and pepper) and fruity (bananas, ananas). Warming feeling form the alcohol. Good.

Bottle pours hazed orange yellow with a monster Belgian head and cobwebs of lace. The aroma is banana and peaches, yeast, spice, cloves, and some hops. The flavor is banana clove, coriander, with a bitter finish. The palate is pretty rich and somewhat still under all the foam. Overall, I like it well enough.

12 oz bottle into shaker. Pours a really hazy golden. The bottle has a quarter inch layer of yeast at the bottom, in the true DDC style (why?). Big white rocky head that holds much better than expected, and it leaves some nice lace too. Smells really nice - yeasty, wheaty, clovey, banana, creamy pale malt all in a much better balance than I have encountered with the style. The flavor has great balance too with a bit of a tartish dry finish. Medium to light body with effervescent carbonation. Overall: very nice.
