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.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy deep amber body with a medium-sized creamy beige head. Aroma of caramel, toasted bread, citrus, cherry, chocolate, and pine. Flavor of toasted and caramels malt and citrus/pine/light floral hops that are nicely balanced.

Tons of West coast hops results in a perfectly summery, grapefruity aroma. Small rocky head with a smooth body. Amazing balance of sweetness and hoppiness. Body could use a bit more solidity but overall, a beautiful beverage.

Bière brune et ambrée, passablement voilée. Elle laisse un léger col crème qui disparaît rapidement. Arôme de houblons floraux et fruités aux notes d’herbe fraîche, d’agrumes et de mangue. Goût plutôt amer, très houblonné, avec du caramel, des figues, des céréales torréfiées. Arrière-goût d’agrumes, de mangues et d’alcool cendrée. L’amertume s’accroche longtemps. La bouche est bien ronde, pétillante sinon piquante. C’est une bonne bière, qui aurait été excellente avec une amertume mieux dosée.

(Bottle) Pours dark amber red with a small of white head. The aroma is medium hoppy with tones of citrus – mostly grapefruit and orange, floral/mild pine and apricots. Medium malty with buttery caramel up front. Subtle fruity undertones of starfruit, tangerine, woody pineapple and wild strawberries. The flavour is medium hoppy with citric (orange peel and grapefruit) and floral tones as the most notable. Light fruity and light to medium malty with some toastiness and caramel. The finish is very dry. The mouthfeel quite soft and smooth. Light sweet and medium bitter with some resiny notes. Medium bodied.

Bottle. Orange color with a big white head. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Taste is malty, with some exotic fruits and some sourness. The taste last long, but kinda dry on the aftertaste. Nicely balanced. Another pleasant and accessible beer from Dieu du ciel!

Pours deep amber with a minor, fine, white head. Aroma is very hoppy. Flavor is incredibly hoppy with a strong hop bittering finish. A pleasant, moderate mouth feel really rounds out this pale well.

Bottle courtesy of Hog Town Harry. Thanks. First Dieu du Ciel beer. Pours a nice slightly cloudy amber. Swet malt & piney grapefruit hop aroma. Slight medicinal taste along with marmalade, grapefruit, caramel. Nicely made beer

Bottle, bought @ Wohlenbergs, Sønderborg.
Pours hazy amber with a medium head that is bubbly near the glass, and creamy in the centre. Slightly off white. Aroma is bready, some caramel as well as a lot of hoppiness. Pine and grapefruit dominate. Nice, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is very bitter, light caramel sweetness behind it. Pine hops are very apparent, with a slight hop burn in the finish. Much like a good English IPA with a good dose of American hops thrown in for good measure.
