Belgian Style IPA Selection (5 bottles)
Try Before You Die: 5 Different Belgian IPA's
The Belgian IPA is a unique beer style that marries the hop-forward approach of American IPAs with the distinctive yeast characteristics of Belgian ales. This style typically presents a higher alcohol content ranging from 6.2% to 9.5% ABV, and is noted for its complex interplay of hop bitterness, which can range from 50 to 100 IBUs, and the fruity and spicy flavors derived from Belgian yeast strains.
Belgian IPAs are usually lighter in color, ranging from pale gold to amber, and they often have a moderate to high carbonation level. The use of Belgian yeast adds a notable dimension to the beer, imparting flavors and aromas of fruits like bananas, pears, and apples, along with spices such as clove. These elements are complemented by the hop aromas that might include tropical, stone fruit, citrus, or pine, depending on the hop varieties used.
The style is both aromatic and flavorful, with a body that can range from medium to light, enhanced by the effervescence of the carbonation. This combination makes Belgian IPAs both rich in flavor and surprisingly drinkable despite the higher alcohol content. They are typically served at temperatures between 46 - 54°F and are often poured into tulip or chalice glasses to best appreciate their complex aromas and flavors.
Belgian IPAs pair well with a variety of foods. Their spicy and fruity notes make them a good match for bold and spicy dishes, robust cheeses, and rich, creamy desserts. Their balanced bitterness and dry finish allow them to cut through the richness of fatty foods, making them versatile for pairing with many different cuisines.
This style continues to evolve as brewers experiment with different hop varieties and yeast strains, pushing the boundaries of the traditional flavor profiles associated with IPAs and Belgian ales alike.
