Corne Du Diable
A - Nut/rust brown, quite cloudy, not able to actually see through the pint. Head retention 1 min. S - Serious dried fruit, with a hint of citrus, but barely. T - A malty and slight fruit start and then I found that the bitter really did not kick in until mid swig and then lingers through for finish and sticks to the middle of the tongue. M - Lighter on the tongue than I originally thought the beer would be from the initial smell. Probably the most IPA part of this beer for me. D - Not what I was expecting in this IPA, with such dry fruity notes to the ale that overshadowed the rest of the beer which seems to have an unbalanced finish that contrasts the style. The bitter finish tries to pull the IPA together but did not quite do it for me. I think Dieu du ciel is trying to have their own take on the style, but it was not my favorite beer this week.
