Dieu du Ciel Corne du Diable

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Montreal, Canada

Pours a hazy brownish-yellow color. Aroma is resinous and slightly malty, not much else. Flavor is sweet and cloying, with little hop character coming through. Average.

Hazy amber, small lacing head. Caramel malty, mildly piney nose. Flavor is caramel malts, flowery & a bit piney hops. Very easy, it’s missing that last bite. Medium bodied, smooth palate. Drinkable, but somewhat dull.

Pours a decent copper hue with full creamy head. The nose is quite floral hops. The flavor falls short and is a bit below average. More bitterness than anything without balance.

En fût:Delicious crystallized citrus fruits and grapefruit flavour. Refreshing and comforting; with a powerful (but marvellous) bitterness in mouth. Lots of (resinous) hops (I smell and taste Cascade ! Am I right ?). Lovely hazy reddish and/or orange dress. Extremely well-balanced. The more I try it, the more I fall in love with this beer. It might be their best beer of all (I know, It’s hard to choose!) --- j’ai écrit ça dans le temps en anglais sur BeerAdvocate et euh, j’avais pas envie de me traduire malgré la nécessité de la chose !

en bouteille: les dernier exemplaires en bouteilles (disponibles sur le marché assez aisément) me rappelent davantage une english ipa avec un malt un peu plus présent et un houblon davantage résineux que citrique. elle est agréable mais n’a pas grand chose à voir, à mon avis, avec l’extraordinaire version enfuteillée.

Bottle sampled with Mad_indian. Pours amber with a good size foamy off-white head. Aroma of spices, caramel, citrus, and piney hops. The flavor is caramel, spices, light fruitiness, citrus, a good hop character. Very refreshing brew, good body and mouthfeel.

Pours a copper/amber body, slightly hazed, with a modest ecru head. The aroma is a light caramel overlaid by moderate hoppy scents of grapefruit, zest of lemon, orange rind, and earth. Those hops perform much better in the flavor, the bitterness intensified with just enough of a sweet malty backbone to support it. The finish is dry with a prolonged citric bitterness. Way too easy to drink.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Amber pour with a mild aroma of hop and citrus. Mild bitterness and citrus and hop flavor. It was good but not mind blowing.

Courtesy beerlando. This one poured a amberish orange color with a medium foamy white head that settles quickly. The aroma is of earthy hops, bread, and some caramel malts. The flavor shows sweet citrus fruit of the orange and grapefruit variety to go with some caramel malt. Citrus hops add bitterness in the background, but not overpowering. Medium bodied with a nice sweet flavor and a slight bitter finish. A nice different take on the style.
