Dieu du Ciel Corne du Diable

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

Poured a clear amber color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, toasted dough, floral hops, and light pine. Taste of citrus fruits, orange peel, light pine, toast, and a grapefruit hop finish. Thanks to Mike for sharing this!

Pour is hazed dark orangey amber with a thin dense tan head...smell is hoppy with some resin and grapefruit and a hint of toastiness...taste is lightly sweet with caramel at first, then a nice citric bitterness builds...a nice hint of breadcrumb sweetness in the finish....nice...

Bottle and served in my GI IPA tulip: Rich caramel hue topped by a nice frothy slightly off-white head which left ring of lace upon the glassware. The aroma has notes of resiny and acidic fruits, grassy and herbal , caramel and bready malts, slight bubblegum and medicinal vapours. Smells more akin to a strong ale than a crisper IPA. The taste follows suit with pungent resiny hops, light grapefruit and orange, grassy twang and a chalky metallic tone supported by a chewy bready malt backbone. While it is bitter, it is hardly a hop bomb however. Again I get more "Strong Ale or malter IIPA" character than a crisper and more drinkable IPA. Hardly bad (in fact pretty good still) but just not what I expect.

33 ml bottle, many thanks to sloth! Pours a mostly clear mahogany amber color with a moderate sized, somewhat foamy beige head that leaves nice lace. Caramelly and toasty malts, with nice floral and lightly resiny hops. Hop forward flavors, with the toasty, biscuity and somewhat fruity malts evident, brash citrus and pine notes give way to a lingering astringent finish. Medium body and crisp, prickly carbonation.

Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a nice thick and quite big foamy head with some good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of resin hops with some nice floral notes. Taste is also dominated by some resin hoppy notes with a subtle caramel malt profile and ends with some bitter notes. Body is quite full with a nice texture and some good carbonation.

Cask @ Volo fest ’06. Cloudy copper body. Nose is hoppy with notes of chocolate, grassy, fruity. Flavor is orange, lemon, pineapple, juicy fruits. Some slight bubblegum. Great bitter fruity orange finish.

from the bottle. poured a cloudy amber with a small tan head. aroma sweet, mango, pineapple. malt , doesn’t smell like a ipa more on the line of a barleywine with out the big alcohol hit. had to wait for it to warm to get any hops. flavor, bitter hops, brown sugar, the fruits in the aroma. I don’t know if my palate is off , this just does not taste like a ipa to me, of course I am comparing to two hearted. That said this is a very good nad drinkable beer. the price #.99 for the bottle will limit me to just a few of these

Amber. Had it from the cask at the brewery, so it had a silky smooth texture. Sweet with bitter hops. An above average but nothing incredible IPA.
