Dieu du Ciel Rosée dHibiscus

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Montreal, Canada

Bottle and served in my Ommegang tulip: Coppery hue with a faint pink fizzy head which left little lace upon the glassware. The aroma has notes of flowery and herbal spice, hint of kaffir lime and pomegranate, biscuity pale malt, and a faint earthy yeast ester. The taste is non-descript honestly outside the acidic ’’watermelon wine cooler’’ crossed with rose hips overtone. Not much addition from hops or for that matter malt. Lucky for us this is not cloying sweet like a wine cooler so it is drinkable. The mouth feel is lively enough and not offensive. This could be the most forgettable beer I have had from the brewery. Where is that peppercorn beer when I need it?

11.5 ounce bottle, a perfect 10 selection from mcbackus. Thanks! Pours a hazy reddish tinged pink with a thin head. Looks sort of like a Bloody Mary. Aroma is very floral, which I assume is the hibiscus, with with light spritzy citrus and brown sugar. Sweet overall. Taste is much drier with notes of lemon, hibiscus, brown sugar, plum, earthy notes and oddly, tomato. A whole heck of a lot going on here... too much. Medium bodied.

11.5 oz bottle from tytoanderso, thanks Tyler. Well it appears Dieu du Ciel is not run by a select few who have sold their souls to Satan for the abbility to brew the worlds best beers. Finally at long last I have found a DDC brew that I truely do not care for. The pour was interesting enough with a very hazy lavender/brown/pink body and an ample foamy light pink/lavender head. So far not bad. Then I inhale....what the hell was that?? My nostrils were smacked with so many aromas that they were confused except for one certain truth, this is not GOOD. Lavender, mud, lemon, ginger, hand soap, cake batter, urine, old lady perfume, butterscotch candies, UGH to much going on here for my feeble human brain to comprehend. I sip this one only to be greeted by the complete lack of all those aromas but just simple sourness and not much else. Perhaps an ’off’....well ’way way off’ bottle. Either way DDC I still love you guys and if you start shipping Peche Mortel in sixtels to NJ I will buy a kegerator faster then Jessica Simpson dropping her pants for her next boyfriend.

12 oz bottle, from someone, many moons ago. Interesting looking beer, like ruby red grapefruit juice. Nice aroma of wheat, banana, citrus and flowers. Flavor was similar. Incredibly easy to drink. This would be a summer go-to beer if it was available in my area.

A little floral, a little fruity in the aroma. Red pink color; short-lasting head. Flavor is quite nice. Light and airy, it’s smooth and easy drinking for sure.

Bottle from tyler. Red in color, good sized head. Aroma of light floral notes, spiceyness, earthy and a touch of sweetness maybe from some berries. Taste is slightly spicey, some sweet berries, and a floral taste. It is soft but dry. It also has a light tartiness to it, maybe even acidity. But light and easy to drink. A nice light summer brew. Thanks ty!

Nice full palate. Flavor of coriander, some spicy yeast, notes of trpical fruit. Pinkish, peach color.

I enjoyed seeing petals in the lacing of this pinkish crimson red beer which has a slightly acidic floral bitter rose tone alongside a sweet berry flavor. Medium-dry palate with the floral bitterness in the finish. Some wheat in here as well. Aroma could use a bit more potency.
