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.

12 oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazy ruby/orange/amber with a large foamy/bubbly off white head that left a bunch of sticky lacing. Aroma of caramel, light citrus, pine, some tropical fruits noted, kind of reminded me of Stone 10th in terms of aroma. Flavor of caramel, toffee, lots of hops, some nuts, pine, floral notes a little earthy along with a bunch of citrus notes. Boy those are some hoppy burps!

Bottle. Pours hazy coppery with ruby edges and 2-fingers of uniform, off-white head and great lacing. The aroma is heavy piney hops, grapefruit, mango, caramel malt, black pepper. The taste is caramel malty, piney hoppy, with mango, grapefruit, honeydew, and a massive fresh ground black pepper flavor. Not nearly as pronounced as the route des epices, but perhaps more black peppery flavor than I have ever experienced in an IPA, and man, does it work with this one. The complexity and balance are off the charts, and this one was one of the most unique, exciting IPAs I’ve had in a long time. If everything from Dieu Du Ciel is this good, I may have to move to Canada.

Bottle. Pours hazy amber/brown with light white head. Aroma of piney hops along with some toffee malt sweetness. Taste was bitter hoppy, yet also had some definite toasty biscuit malts as well. Kind of an interesting combination that worked decently methinks. Average mouthfeel with a good bitter kick in the finish that didn’t linger much. A solid IPA.

Appearance: Pours a clear amber body topped by a medium-sized, white head. Smell: Honeyish, hoppy aroma with notes of passion fruit juice, flowers, and grapefruit rind. Taste: Honey candy, though with a restrained sweetness. Then, jumps to the fruity, resoundingly bitter hops. Continual hints of citrus. Slightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight oiliness to the mouthfeel. Drinkability: In short: it’s good. A nice surprise.

Bottle, pours slightly hazy and amber with a beautiful, off-white two fingers large, creamy, mostly lasting head. Good lacing. Flowerish hoppy nose with caramel and citrus. Flavour of hops, caramel, light malt and grape. Medium bodied. Lovely bitter finish. Well balanced. A very enjoyable IPA.
