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.

Poured a dark copper color with a white to off-white head. Decent lacing. The aroma was grassy, light citrus and malt. The flavor was malt, grassy and citrusy hops and some definite pencil shavings. Lots of malt, you can definitely feel the English influence. Not an aggresive IPA, more of an English Pale Ale. Expensive for what it was.

Bottle courtesy of beerbuzzmontreal. A very nice hop flavor. I think I notice Cascade and Warrior hops. Excellent American IPA from a non-American brewer.

Sampled draft and cask at brewpub in Feb. Poured a medium amber/brown body with a fluffy, off-white head. Aroma is strong floral and piney hops. Flavors were grapefruit and pine with some floral perfumy untertones.

(Bottle). Citrus aroma. Dark amber color with large light tan head. Flavor is sweetish grapefruit, and some malt backbone. Not as bitter as other IPAs, and without the lengthy finish of some, but still a quality brew.

Typical american style IPA. Light brown colur. Lots of hops and bitterness. Anyway quite tasty beer. Hints of grapefruit. Shared with Mirjukka and FatPhil in Pikkulintu.

bottle from bauer wine and spirits in boston. i didn’t expect to see anything from dieu du ciel, so this was a pleasant surprise - and the IPA aroma was also a surprise. a half mix between the brutally bitter american hops and classic british hops. not palate-bruising but certainly bitter, and far bitterer than it smells. seems that beer fans owe it to themselves to visit this brewery. green hops characteristics and perceptibly malty finish, with a pleasantly hoppy aftertaste; nice beer.

Aroma of malty, piney. Pours a cloudy orange, nice head. Caramel malty backbone. Floral notes, burnt fruit, hoppy but not overpowering. Just general all-around tastiness. You try to put your finger on what you like about it, but your glass is empty and you’re already pouring another one.

12oz bottle pours a translucent reddish, copper amber with a sudsy, lacing white head. Aroma is extremely hoppy, strong lemon and pine with a malt backing lurking behind the hop resin. Flavor is heavy on the citrus fruits, spicy with plenty of pine and resin on the tongue. Finish is obviously bitter, but the mild sweetness also comes in at the very end. This is a nice IPA, but considering what I paid ($5.29), I think I’ll stick to the cheaper local micro IPAs that give me the same bang for less buck.
