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.

reddish brown with nice off-white head. nice hoppy nose. flavor of some crystal malt, some nice hop bitterness with some huge flavor that is straight cascade, which obviously is nice, but adding a few different hop aspects would make the beer more complex and memorable. very good ipa though

Alot of sweet malt in the aroma, almost 2IPA-like. Floral, grapefruit rind hops. The flavor is rich, but much drier than he aroma.

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.

Sample at the 2008 VT Brewers Fest - Poured a cloudy dark amber in color with a medium white head. Aroma was medium of grapefruit and citrus with a hint of malty sweetness. Flavor was nice and hoppy with strong elements of citrus and pine hops. Definitely some malt underlying. Finish is long and bitter.

Bottled. Amber/burgundy coloured. Unclear. Dense ligth brown head. Aroma of pine, citrus, grass and caramel Flavour is sweet and piney. Has light fruits and a somewhat citric touch. Caramel is notable in flavour as well. Is medium bodied. Quite dry. Medium to strong bitterness in the end, but its countered well by a fresh sweetness. Very nice.
