Beer review 8: Équinoxe du Printemp

This a neat no-fooling-around, above average bitter beer.

Another great product from the brewery Dieu du Ciel.

With a 9.1% alcohol volume it is not to be trifled with. It demands something as exquisite as a dish fit for red wine. As such, it was served with a double smoked sausage calzone. As you can see it's main fermentable, was maple syrup. I can't say it was an obvious flavour in it but it was distinctively there. All and all it adds a faint "mineraly" taste to the final product that I always found refreshing and thirst quenching.

If you are not fond of IPAs (Indian pale ales) this might be a bit rough for your palate. On the other hand it may very well be one of the best ways to introduce yourself to IPAs.

I give it a solid 4 our 5 burps.
