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.

Rich citrus hops aroma with baked bread, cream and candied fruits. Thick pillowy head, light orange cream color with deep brownish orange colored body. Rich hops flavor balanced with apple cider, dried fruits, bread crust, and some brown sugar. Palate is light but good, rich lasting duration. Good flavors throughout.

Bottle. Dark amber, big head, nice lacing. Big citrus and hoppy aroma. Flavor is nicely balance with sweet caramel malts and hops. Noticeable grapefruit and pine. Finish does not have the big hop bitterness I expect in an IIPA. Overall, this is a decent IPA, not a IIPA.

(11.5 oz. bottle from 1828 Vintage House) Pours cloudy amber with three fingers of lightly amberish biege head. Initial aroma of grapefruit and pine. As head recedes there is vanilla and caramel. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth and provides a decent amount of texture for the style. Feels unfiltered. Lots of broken lightly foamy patchy lacing. Tastes sweet and bitter. Caramel and vanilla overlain by pine and grapefruit. Lightly flowery and a bit of fruit. And was there just a hint of spiciness in the finish? Lightly bitter aftertaste on the tongue. Pretty good straightforward IPA. I usually don’t comment on the price but $5.99/bottle?! Ouch.

A little expensive at 5.50 for a 12oz. Floral hops, sweet notes throughout. Nice carbonation, crisp. A lot of fruity notes. Tangy hops, long lasting mild bitterness. Really great IPA.

Bottle@home, Apperance: Hazy orange with a white-yellowish lace. Aroma: Citric notes, Fruit, Caramel, Flowers (hops). Flavor: Grass, Citric notes, Caramel, Wood?, Exotic fruit (mango?). Palate: Nice light body with some acidity and a long lasting bitterness at the end. Plenty of carbonation too. A nice, balanced, IPA from Dieu Du Ciel. Wish i could get hold of more of these! Recommended!

Bottle. Pours a murky light brown with a huge, thick foamy tan head that subsides fairly quickly. Aroma of rich caramel malt, bitter hops, light citrus, and coffee grounds. Flavor of sweet caramel malt, iced tea, and slightly hoppy finish. Nice malty IPA.

Bottle. Aroma of earthy malt with nearly-burnt bread, coffee, toffee, dried fig. Tropical fruits poke through from time to time. Flavor a complex blend of bitter notes (grapefruit, pine) with distinctly sweet notes (passion fruit and other sweet fruits) along with that rich, earthy malt that dominates the nose for me. Very nice brew.

Flaske. Mørk orange øl, med et fint skumhoved. Ikke helt frisk men selvom den havde været frisk er humlen ikke helt i balance. Ikke en af de bedre IPA men bestemt drikbar.
