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.

Pours a very hazy reddish orange with a two finger creamy yellow head.Smells a little oxidized, sweet caramel malt, citrus rind, past its prime in the aroma. Flavor shows the same, sweet, citrus rind bitterness, oxidation, some alcohol, a tad earthy. Mild carbonation.

A Mes rate. Bottle drunk at the Rake thanks to Rudiger.
Amber gold with a thin off white head. Big resinous hoppy nose with some slight ethanol and a bit of a peppery sting at the top. Really good nose. Sadly the flavour is nothing like as good. All the same stuff is there that made the aroma so great but there are some definite notes of card and vegetables. All I can say is that this doesn’t seem to have bottled too well. It’s like a bad English bottle conditioned beer. Such a same. I’m sure this would be spectacular on draught but right now, especially following the exceptional aroma, I feel rather let down. Superb bitter finish brings it back, just but I can’t help but feel this has so much more to give.

Pours a murky orage with a small off white lace. Smells like an aged barleywine. Hard to find the hops in the flavor too. Would like to try a fresh bottle or better yet have this on tap to rerate.

Great citrusy hop aromas. Nice spicy hop flavors. Nicely baalanced with malts. Overall very good.

11.5 fl. oz. bottle -> English pint glass. Pours a wonderfully cloudy, dark tree-sap-amber. Moderate lacing, from an espresso-colored head, which itself was quick to retreat. Smells of hops, sour grapefruit, and burned sugar/caramel. Tastes similar. Bitter and sour, with sufficient sweetness on the back end. Mild taste of alcohol. An excellent beer.

Poured yellow with a white head, smelled of british style hops, and tasted the same which don’t work well with the malt. Overall fairly hoppy but not enough and not as tasty as one would think.

Bottle. Pours hazy caramel, off white head. Aroma is tangy dried fruit and grassy. Flavor is malty and hoppy: graham cracker, citrus, and honey dough. A bit too doughy for me.
