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: Big citrus hoppiness in the aroma. Lots of grapefruit, orange, peach, and pine along with a strong dose of caramel as well. It pours a mostly transparent amber with a touch of haze and a half inch off white head that leaves behind sporadic lacing. The flavor starts with light-moderate caramel along with some light fruitiness. The caramel is nowhere near as strong as the aroma would indicate. The finish has moderate grapefruit and pine hops. The pine lasts awhile in the aftertaste. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel and mild carbonation. I anticipated a much bigger, "in your face", and sticky IIPA based on the aroma. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a hoppy IPA, but it smelled like a 10+% IIPA.

from the bottle. poured a cloudy amber with a small tan head. aroma sweet, mango, pineapple. malt , doesn’t smell like a ipa more on the line of a barleywine with out the big alcohol hit. had to wait for it to warm to get any hops. flavor, bitter hops, brown sugar, the fruits in the aroma. I don’t know if my palate is off , this just does not taste like a ipa to me, of course I am comparing to two hearted. That said this is a very good nad drinkable beer. the price #.99 for the bottle will limit me to just a few of these

12 oz bottle. Pours dark rust color with tight beige head. The aroma is sweet and citrusy, with honey, tangerine, brown sugar, pineapple, a little bit of pine. The flavor has a mellow maltiness and a resinous hop flavor, followed by a rather assertive piney bitterness. It finishes with some burnt caramel and wood, and some more hops. This one is very tasty.

Reddish-amber pour with a really thick fluffy white head. Very aromatic - floral and fruity hops. Grapefruit, melon and tropical fruits. Perhaps a bit of cotton candy or bubble gum. Dry bitter hop flavor with lots of fruit. Citrus and tree fruits, and even a little bit of cherry. Nice balanced flavor that leaves a lasting dry hop finish.

Bottled at Ørsted Ølbar, Copenhagen. Clear copper colour, creamy head. Grapefruity lychee-like hop aroma. Medium sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel. Fresh hops supported by caramelly malt. Above medium bodywith evident crystal malt character. Lots of hop aroma, less bitterness.

Compliments of my friends DrBayern (Thanks Matt!!!!), expensive 11.5 oz beer, poured nicely a medium dark and hazy coppery malt. Aroma of hops, malts, and grapefruit. Flavour is both full bodied and bold beer. An excellent American version of IPA, I must admit. Sorry, most canadian beer to me is pussy beer, except for a few. This is a superb and wonderful ale from our friends in Canada. I would love to try it on tap. Awesome beer!

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a 2 finger tan head and delicate lacing. Nose is toasted malts and citrus. Taste is more toasted malt, pine, and grapefruit. Medium mouth feel. Tastes a bit different than its American counterpart, but still enjoyable. A nice, clean finishing IPA.

Bottle. Strong aroma of hops, malt and fruit. I got some berries to. amber in colour with a decent head that sticks to the glass. Flavoursome ale, full of hops, malt and fruit. Little smoked finish. Little to sweet for me for an IPA but still pretty dam good. I’m liking this brewery.
