DIEU DU CIEL! BLANCHE NEIGE

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:37:00 -0500

We are excited to offer a new beer from Montreal’s Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! exclusively for Licensee’s in Ontario!

Brasserie Dieu du Ciel! Blanche Neige

Wit Beer Brewed With Cinnamon & Cloves (8.3%)

24 x 341mL (Limited Availability)

Blanche Neige is not your typical wheat beer. With a high level of alcohol and a dominate flavour of Cinnamon and cloves included in the brewing process makes this beer a perfect winter warmer. The spices come through immediately, giving very little room for the usual wheat beer aromas (coriander and curaçao). Blanche Neige is a new seasonal that will be bottled and brewed once a year in Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel’s! St-Jerome brewery. Quantities are very limited!

If you are a licensee in Ontario and would like to place an order, please contact us at sales@keep6imports.com

Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! Solstice d'Hiver

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:57:25 -0500

Now Available at the LCBO: Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! Solstice d’Hiver Barley Wine in very limited quantities!

LCBO ITEM #270405 - 4 x 341mL / $12.95 / 10.2% / Click Here For Store Inventory

This noble winter beer is brown in colour with flaming red highlights. Its taste is delicately sweet and liquor-like with a hint of burnt caramel coming from the malt and a prolonged boiling time. It is a very bitter beer with aromas of hops and alcohol, and flavours reminiscent of red fruit brought by the English-type yeast we use to ferment it. The aftertaste is accentuated by the wonderful flavour of hops. Solstice d’Hiver is brewed only once a year, and is then aged for 4 to 5 months before being sold. This aging process is necessary to achieve an ideal equilibrium between the sharp bitterness and the other flavours in the beer.

Solstice d’hiver is brewed only once a year, at the end of the summer. It is then aged for a few months in order to attain a perfect balance in taste. Then, it is sold starting mid-December of each year, until stocks last.

This soft-spoken wheat beer is an ideal beverage for a hot summer day. The rose color comes from the hibiscus flowers added during the brewing process. The aromas and flavor of this tropical flower are very prominent in the beer, giving it a slight acidity and a very agreeable fragrance. The lightly sweet and fruity flavor leaves the palate with a tangy finish – a perfect thirst quencher on a summer patio.
