Dieu du Ciel Corne du Diable

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

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.

341 ml brown bottle bought @ local IGA grocery : Dark copper, med carb, grapefruit, citrusy, great bitterness not that sharp, med body, great balance between malt and hop.

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.

Bottle, Dark amber with beige head. Citrus and sweet malt. Caramel. Long aftertaste with citrus and bitterness.. Nice IPA.

Bottle. Murky amber with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is citrus oils, orange peel, sweet malt, toffee, some Bit O Honey, and spicy hops. Taste is more spicy hops, pine resin, orange peel, citrus oils, toffee, light caramel, and sweet, chewy malts. Nice chewiness to the body with a medium overall feel. Carbonation is dense and creamy. Only slightly oily and minor lingering bitterness. Ends with more spicy hops, light toffee, caramel, sweet malts, citrus fruits and pine needles. Tasty!

11.5oz bottle from grape & gourmet. pours a hazy, darker copper with a thin, off-white head and decent lacing. aroma is quite nice but a bit backwards for an IPA with big, sweet, toffee malt notes dominating the nose with milder hints of earthy, citrus hops, pine resin, and a bit of spice. definitely smells more like a strong/BW than and IPA. flavor is pretty solid as well and followed the aroma with caramel/toffee malts, raisins, and earthy/leafy hop notes with a slight touch of citrus and spice. palate was medium bodied with solid carbonation and a dry, herbal hop finish. overall, a good brew that was a bit backwards for an IPA even when drank fresh and seems more like strong ale or barley wine.

11.5oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear, bright red-orange colored body with a billowing, two-finger width, dense and creamy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves lots of clinging lace. Sexy looking IPA. Aroma is sweet and chewy caramels with a good amount of sweet, resiny, piney and grassy hops. A light amount of dark toffee and plenty of citrus. Flavor is full and sweet caramels, earthy toffees, woody and piney citrus, a bit of biscuit, and resiny oranges and grapefruits. Finishes dry and grassy with plenty of earthy caramels and hops that linger for a long time. Palate is full and slightly chewy. Overall, a really tasty and balanced IPA. Lots of malts and hops that blend very well together. Good one.
