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.

Pours ruddy dark gold with a generous tan head. Ample citrus hop aroma with bready yeast and malts underneath. Very fruity with some hop dryness in the finish. Well balanced, not overly bitter. Very smooth and full bodied. Nicely different!

bottle - Pours dark amber-orange with a one finger head. The aroma is of citrus hops and sweet caramel and nut malt. The flavor is moderately bitter and well balanced with a medium body and a lingering bitter finish. It’s good though to me the hops didn’t have a lot of character like the pine and citrus notes that go so well in an IPA. Still a solid, if rather pricey, brew.

11.5oz bottle. Thick, brown-red color. Like others have noted, this didn’t taste fresh, some off aromas and flavors sort of taint the overall effect. I am a huge fan of DdC beers and was very let down by this one. I’d expect it to be much better in Montreal. Some soapy, piny, lingering hop presence. Some amber malt tastes, and an intense amber malt aroma, give it a unique touch. Good, but not great.

Deep hazy, chunky copper/brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head - wierd for an IPA! Aroma of metal, fresh hops, caramel, nuts and a bit of pine. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive hops up front with no backbone, just showing a pale grassy and pine hop flavour. Aftertaste shows some caramel, a bit of metal and a bitter malt flavour. Overall, a strong, sharp and potent IPA - not showing enough hops, rather more malt and a bit of sweetness. Decent to try, but I prefer more of an American-style IPA. I sampled this 330 mL bottle purchased from Ramsey Liquors in Ramsey, New Jersey on 19-January-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 29-January-2009.

Pour is a copper with an average white head. Aroma is a very nice floral hop. Flavor is again heavy on the hops with some caramel malts showing up at the end. Pretty straight forward and tasty IPA.

33cl btl. from ølbutikken. no best before stamp on the label, but the last year printed is 09. tasted jan.13.2009. hoppy, faint peachy, aroma, slightly mouldy. appears cloudy orange with small floaties. was a little alive when opened, some foam came out by itself. flavor is hoppy, but also slightly mouldy. sawdust. slightly watery. strange almost a little sour note in the flavor. i will probably rerate when i find a bottle that is with a best before date.

This beer is a brownish-orange color with a medium thick and foamy beige head that dissipates steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Hoppy aroma with notes of citrus and bready malt. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with citrusy hops, malt and touches of grain. The finish is resiny hops with a lingering bitterness left over. Straightforward and good IPA through and through.
