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.

This poured a dark orange color with a creamy off white head. Aroma was of caramel and citrusy hops. Flavor was much the same, not much hop flavor, just bitterness and sweet malt flavors. Wish I had tried this a bit fresher.

Thanks MartinT! Deep hazy amber-orange body with a delicious tan lacing head. Fruity aroma with peach, citruses, the volatile oils of orange peel and of course: strong, fine resiny hop perfume. Some caramel and yeast in the nose too. Fine hops in the flavor(strong but not overpowered), fine malt and fruits, citruses and orangepeel feeling. Fine and strong bitter finish, but not an agressive, soon a well balanced aftertaste.

11.5 oz bottle purchased at Ramsey Liquors, NJ. Pours a muddy dark bronze with a medium manilla head. Herbal, woody, grassy pine hop nose with caramel. Flavor has a heavy toffee presence then a big dose of piney US hops then orange/grapefruit. The bitterness is quite prominent but not harsh. Lingering woody bitter finish. The body is full and round with soft carbonation. Enjoyable, but I would have preferred less woodiness/toffee.

Deep amber-orange beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is lightly orangey and fruity. Light peach and pink grapefruit as well. There is a lightly zesty/spicy note to this beer as well. The flavour is hoppy, but not all that bitter. Grapefruit and citrus and a kiss of light caramel on the back. Quite a nice beer, really.

bottle. Hazy orange in color with a medium off white head. Aroma of citrus hops- a good amount of cascade- maybe some amarillo, some darker crystal malt, and some earthy resinous hops. Taste has a good amount of hop character- earth and citrus, some light sticky crystal malts, and a moderate lingering bitterness that gets a touch abrasive. Nice IPA that is a bit above average.

A - hops are clear and abudant. traces of raisins, light fruits, faint whiff of cinnamon 7+ V - large bubble head about one finger in depth, copper red in hue, prominent lacing 4 T - spicy bite to it, stronger cinnamon which fades into a bitter hop blend, bitter sticks around 6 P - somewhat creamy, but the residual taste is flat and dull 2 O - fine enough, but I do not find much to make this stick out amongst other IPAs
