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.

Dark amber ale with a thin creamy white head. Funky orangey hops in aroma, sweet malts and floral notes. In mouth, like a classic US IPA, with pleasant floral hops, earthy citrus. Rich and smooth mouthfeel. Enjoyed with M_Heine and GonzoBeer, on Dec. 17th, 2005 (YeHaa).

On draught March 2005 at the pub. Amber-yellow body, clear, with a white head, pretty well retained. Aroma of. . .hops, cascade-like and quite straightforward (fruity, citrusy, lightly juicy). Reminds me of some of the IPAs I drank in Michigan (Dark Horse crooked tree, founders centennial, Arcadia IPA), though, not quite as in your face with the hops. For an American IPA, it’s quite restrained and well-behaved. While the relatively lower amount of alpha bitterness dosen’t demand a ton of malt to balance it, the malt still seeemed a little bit lacking. Light fruit notes, a touch of paperiness, very clean on the finish. Dry, lean body that is very drinkable and shows no signs of the 6.5 abv (would never have guessed).
