La corne du diable est une adaptation américaine des "pales ales"originales anglaises,reflétant le penchant des états-unienspour des bieres un peu plus fortes et beaucoup plus houblonnées.Il en résulte unr biere rousse, ronde et caramelisée,qui présente une amertume tranchante et des arômes puissants dus à un houblonnage à froid.

[1] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/13/2008 3:04:50 PM)
"Bottle from SL. The pour was full red-amber, excellent initial head, ok retention, solid lacing. The aroma was full caramel and floral hops. The flavor was a hearty caramel malty base (with an almost gritty texture, hearty indeed), ample hops, floral and pine most prominent, but fruity citrus elements in there too. A decent brew, but too pricey to seek out again here in the States."

"This IPA pours a deep copper amber color from a 33cl bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is earthy malts and floral hops. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are caramel, earthy and semi-sweet. The hops are floral and citrusy. A different tasting IPA, its an IPA, but the malt and hops profile seem different than the normal citrusy hops and caramel malts. Lots of orange and tangerine flavors as well. Nice balance. Long lasting bitter finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter."

[4] Review by Sap from Tucson, AZ, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/2/2008 11:14:14 PM)
"November 2007 Bottle Date; Sampled April 2008
Pours with a frothy, initially fat-two-finger thick, light tan colored head. The beer is deep amber color, but shows lightly hazy, orange-tinged, light red color when held up to the light. The aroma is a mix of dominant hop aromatics and supporting, but noticeable malt notes. Aromatic notes of grapefruit, pine, then lychee, apricot and candied citrus peel are supported by caramelized malt sugars and drier soda cracker & biscuit-like aromas. The hops provide some spice character too which seems to accent the fruit / citrus components of the aroma. The smell of this beer makes it seem like a rich, full bodied example of the style (the color might influence my expectations that direction too).
Lightly sweet tasting, but only so that it accents the dominant hop character. This is not aggressively hopped by extreme standards, but still is way hop balanced. Caramelized malt flavors play a big role here, and the beer is definitely on the chewy side though it is so thick as to keep this from being reasonably drinkable. The front of each sip is dominated by astringent, herbal, pine & menthol flavors that are sharp and biting. Just underneath these notes is a solid citrus oil component that is reminiscent of the zest from grapefruit, tangelo and some lychee flavors. This beer has a fair amount of bitterness to it & the astringent notes just add to this, having said that the chewy malt does a good job of not letting this combination get overwhelming. As it warms up the malt becomes a bit stickier and is definitely outside my personal preference for an IPA.
An interesting tasty beer, but somehow it just doesn't do it for me. Between the sticky, slightly too heavy malt notes and the aggressive, astringent hop character this just seems a bit chaotic and unbalanced. Might be scored a bit low for me, but for some reason I expect more from this brewery."

[5] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/14/2008 12:03:42 AM)
"Bought in a 6-pack at the Dépanneur Jovi in Hull, Quebec. Wow ! First thing you notice about this one, is the huge hop scent that comes out of it after the pour. Hazy golden-orange in colour, with a big off-white head that stays a while and creates thick and chunky lace. The hop is really present in the taste too. Bitter, but yet, very refreshing. Some fruits in the nose and a touch of cereal in the flavour. Pretty damn good American pale ale."
