Commercial Description:
Golden coloured lager with a head as white as snow. This beer has complex malt and hop flower aromas. It is full-bodied and the aftertaste is smooth and malty with a touch of sulphur. The noble hops used in this beer bring about a sharp but delicate bitterness.

Draft @ DDC 10th Anniversary Party. Pours a very bright, clear honey-golden color; white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Nicely crisp, dry, and minerally hopped aroma; slightest toastiness; very dry. Medium mouthfeel: lively carbonation; gorgeously dry, crisp and toasty pilsener; some very light honeyed sweetness and crisp toasty malts presence; very, very crisp and drinkable; great pilsener. Beautiful. Medium finish: dry, plenty of mineral bitterness, toasty malts; touches of honey; nicely dry, crisp throughout.

<b>In short: </b>A sharp tasty pilsner with a heavier-than-usual malt backbone and spicier-than-usual hops<br /> <b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub<br /> <b>The look: </b>Clear dark golden body topped by an initially large off-white head with medium retention<br /> <b>In long: </b>Lose of spicy noble hops on the nose. Bigger-than-usual malt backbone for the style. Soft honeyed dipped in smooth caramel and citrus juice poured all over it. Nice maltiness here but certainly not crisp and maybe a bit too heavy for the style. Large amount of hops and somehow the natural spiciness of noble hops is multiplied by 10 and reaches peppery territory. There’s more spicy dryness here than dry grassiness. Finish is very sharp with a strong spicy bitterness. This may not be a very refreshing Pils but it sure is a tasty one. Good beer. For a beer that hasn’t been brewed for 2+ years Dieu Du Ciel sure nailed it right. I guess brewing beer is one of those things you just don’t forget once you’ve learned it like riding a bicycle or securing everything before pulling your fly up.

A spot on Czech pils - superb balance, with crisp noble hops balancing out a bready malt base and a slightly buttery character - hints of toasted grains in the finish - very light sweetness adds a base for this character, as well as light floral notes - creamy and smooth, yet crisp at refreshing at the same time - one of the best lagers I’ve had in quite some time.

Bu à leur pub à MTL le 22/8/08, en fut &#40;20oz&#41; en attendant le fameux CapFlu. Blonde dorée, petit collet avec un peu de denteille. Arome d’herbe et de blé malté, petit parfun de fruits. Goût d’houblon saaz sec, céréal croustillant, légèrement malté avec un petits arrière-goût amère. Une pilsener savoureuse et bien facile à boire&#033;
