Reviews

A couple of our reviews for the new Dieu Du Ciel range:
Aphrodisiaque
One look at the bottle leaves one thinking this is going to be some soft sweet beer, but they would be wrong! This dark beauty pours a deep brown colour with an off white fluffy head. The nose is all coffee (and good coffee at that!) with slight 'meaty' notes. The palate is full flavoured to say the least. One sip has flavours of coffee, chocolate, treacle, meat with a slight (and we say slight) vanilla tone. This beer is good. We recommend having it at the end of the night during winter and savour it! And no it doesn't work!

Rosée d' Hibiscus

A very interesting beer indeed. Pours a light ruby red colour. The nose is amazing with berry tones and slight hibiscus notes. The palate is full flavoured without being too strong. It's sweet throughtout which fades to a slight bitterness at the end. Berry notes across the palate with stronger hibiscus flavours than on the nose. A unique beer and one to shock people who don't like the taste of normal beer.

Get rewarded for your reviews
An apology to those people who received the review notifications yesterday... We just wanted to hear your reviews :)
But, your reviews are still coming in, but we are yet to reach the 100 mark (at the moment we have 80). To remind you what's up for grabs, the top reviewer receives a big bottle of Maudite (that's the 15th Anniversary edition) and the next top 5 reviewers will receive over $30 worth of glassware with their next order. To review, all you have to do is follow these simple steps...

Step 1: Login (you can't review a brew unless you are first logged in)
Step 2: Find the bier or cider you wish to review and start typing away.
That's it, pretty simple.
Note: By default, your full name and email address will appear as the author, you can choose to delete your email and/or last name or leave as is.
