Commercial Description:
Corne du diable (French for "Horn of the devil") is a contemporary interpretation of the classic English India Pale Ale. This new style, born on the west coast of North America, is characterized by stronger and hoppier beers. The result is a red ale expressing caramel flavours coming from the malt, sharp bitterness and powerful hop aromas, thanks to dry hopping.

Bottle shared at Butter’s Big Cellar Blowout. Hazy reddish amber pour with wispy white head. Sweet malty nose with a little spiciness. Flavor has hop bitterness on the finish, but malty overall. Not really what I would call an IPA. But okay i suppose. Too expensive for what it is though...

Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout. Pours an off-white head with a copper amber body. Smells of aged spice and pine hops. Flavors of spice hops, little citrus hops, and honey-caramel. Finish is sweet and bitter. Mellow hops for what it could have been...I believe the bottle has some age.

Beautiful, almost floral hop nose. Pours a copper/amber with a decent head. Lots of great grapefruit and pine in the profile but also something complex and lingering that I can’t put my finger on. Lasts a good long while on the tongue. Probably one of my favorite Canadian attempts at a U.S. style IPA.

Thanks to josarah for this beer. Pours a bright copper color with small head. Great nose os crisp, fresh hops...more grassy than citrusy, with some peach and apricot aromas. Good biscuit notes in the malt. Crisp, refreshing mouthfeel with good carbonation. Flavor is piney hops flavors with citrus, hibiscus and light caramel malts. Bitter finish is very pleasing. Very nice beer!

Beaucoup plus près d’une IPA américaine que d’une pale ale. Très fort arômes et saveurs de houblon du début a la fin, de même qu’une longue persistance. Pour les hopheads!

Bottle drink by 01/10 I think. Initial aroma is of dry-hopped Cascades. Amber-red body, great head with lacing. Malty body, slight crystal malt sweetness, turns hoppy at the end (grapefruit/pine). An American-style IPA, if not a super hop bomb. Good.

This dark amber ale poured with a thick fluffy beige head and a toffe aroma. There is a rich caramel malt flavor with a powerful hop finish that leaves pine on the palate. This is a very tasty brew.

11.2 ounce bottle in pint glass. Caramel color with lasting dense head and lace. Caramel biscuit and hop aroma. Toasted caramel biscuit bread and peach sweet fruitiness with very dry hoppy earthy finish. Medium body great mouthfeel. High quality balanced beer, unfortunately, a lot of us (me at least) prefer really crisp hoppy dry piney citrusy IPAs. Still, nice.
