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.

Ranging between 10,99$ (!) and 14,99$ for a 6-pack in Quebec’s Self-Aborted Country (...). I saw it at 4,99$ per 341ml bottle on the website of a liquor store in Washington, D.C.! An impressive beer, very bitter, with powerful malt flavors, warming with a hint of sweetness hidden in this well balanced kick-ass-power-brew. Grapefruit, caramel, pine, freshness (yeah, it’s in there!), long aftertaste. Great in bottle, delightful on tap at the sympathetic brewpub in Saint-Jérôme, a now occasional beer at Montreal’s brewpub. I’m really glad they bottled this one. Official winner of the best-IPA-in-Quebec title, with both Hopfenstark Postcolonial and Bièropholie’s amazing IPAs down on the floor bleeding seriously (all others have been slaughtered brutally). ADDED: Hello, my love, I just dropped by to tell you how I grew to love you more and more, how your perfume is making me lose my head, how you taste delightfully fruity, bitter and wet. Your moisten taste reminds me of a greek baklava. Be sure you’ll stay for long in my life! I love you. You are amazing!

Bottle. Pours hazy coppery with ruby edges and 2-fingers of uniform, off-white head and great lacing. The aroma is heavy piney hops, grapefruit, mango, caramel malt, black pepper. The taste is caramel malty, piney hoppy, with mango, grapefruit, honeydew, and a massive fresh ground black pepper flavor. Not nearly as pronounced as the route des epices, but perhaps more black peppery flavor than I have ever experienced in an IPA, and man, does it work with this one. The complexity and balance are off the charts, and this one was one of the most unique, exciting IPAs I’ve had in a long time. If everything from Dieu Du Ciel is this good, I may have to move to Canada.

L’une des meilleures IPA qu’il m’a été donner de boire jusqu’à présent. Une bière houblonnée à souhait qui ne vous décevra pas côté amertume, si c’est ce que vous recherchez.

Slightly hazy ruby-red body with a frothy light-tan head. Some mild carbonation. Good head retention, but not that much lacing. A robust grapefruit hop aroma, with a pretty pronounced caramel background. The taste is bursting with juicy grapefruit and caramel notes. A very solid hop bite, with some subtle pine notes. The bitterness from the hops is very well-balanced by the sweetness from the caramel malts, so it’s not hard to manage the hoppiness at all. The finish is all about bitter-sweet grapefruit notes and is a bit dry. Very easily-drinking and smooth on the palate. The best Canadian-brewed American IPA I’ve tasted to date!

Bottle at Haket, Göteborg. Deep amber color, very nice lasting offwhite head. Fruity aroma, hops, apples, peach, tropical fruits, milky and creamy notes. Fruity, hoppy flavor, fruits, apples, peach, grass, and metal notes. Grapes and fruitsd and hops in the finish. Very nice body. One of the best IPA I ever have tried.
