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.

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.

Hazy orange-red with a dense and beautiful head that continues into lacings. The aroma is wonderful, full of pine and orange - like a Swedish wood in spring time. And the flavours do not dissapoint either, being nicely hopped with notes of grape and a bit of metal. All of this is perfected by a soft palate, almost like whipped cream.

11.2oz bottle. Spicy, resiny nose. Toasted brown sugar. Head and Shoulders shampoo. Herbal and woody as well. Pine resin. Hops dominate but there is a fair amount of malt in the background. Pours a muddy amber/brown with a thin but sticky white head. Flavor is dominated by dry, soapy and rather non-expressive hops. Plenty bitter but lacking any real nuance. Spicy brown sugar for the malt profile. I quite enjoy the malt in this one rather than the hops. Rich and full bodied with a lasting bitter finish.

murky amber beer with a large creamy beige head. big, wet, fresh, resiny pine-citrus hop aroma with spicy caramel malts. flavor is loaded with chocolate, cocoa powder, caramel, piney hops, mint, licorice, and other spices. balanced perfectly. impressive brewery.
