Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! 6e Soir – American Double / Imperial Pilsner at 8.9% ABV (C$6.90 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 15-Aug-2025, reviewed 8-Sep-2025)
Appearance: slightly hazy deep gold with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and chunky soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, herbal/floral, honey on toasted bread, apple. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-full slightly oily body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter boozy warming finish. (3/5)
Bravo and Sterling hops. Meh. This really didn’t impress me. In fact, it came perilously close to reminding me of those high ABV gas station offerings, particularly as the aroma started to approach “stewed fruit” towards the end of the pint. I could have scored this lower both in aroma and taste, and maybe dropped the overall score by half a point or more, but I’m trying to avoid personal preference: not everything has to be bright New World or ANZAC hops… I suppose… And there are no real negatives, beyond the booziness, which might again be argued to be a personal preference thing. But, at the end of the day, I’m the person writing the review. So. There you go. (13/20)
This will be my 6,190th unique Untappd check-in.
