🌍 Canada · Red IPA · One of 2 Red IPAs in hopIQ

Dieu du Ciel!, a Montreal-based brewery known for innovative craft beers, crafts Corne du Diable as a beautifully balanced Red IPA that bridges malt sweetness with hop-forward character. The beer displays a deep amber to copper hue with aromas of caramel malt, citrus, and subtle pine resin that entice from the glass. The palate opens with rich caramel and dark fruit notes before bright grapefruit and orange peel hop flavors arrive, finishing clean and dry with lingering hop bitterness and a warm, inviting alcohol presence.

Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel malt sweetness and rich toffee notes that anchor the profile. Bright citrus—particularly grapefruit and orange peel—emerges alongside subtle pine resin and herbal hop character. A gentle earthy undertone rounds out the aromatic complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward impression.

Taste

Entry brings warm caramel and dark fruit flavors that establish the malt foundation. The mid-palate transitions smoothly to crisp grapefruit and orange peel hop notes, with a resinous, piney quality adding depth and structure. Moderate bitterness builds progressively, balancing the initial sweetness without becoming harsh or astringent.
