Style Information |
The Belgian IPA combines the hoppy character of the American IPA style with the spicy notes or fruity esters of many Belgian styles. The base style that is usually used is a Tripel. Therefore, the color tends to be lighter colored and higher in alcohol. Since this is essentially a "Euro IPA", brewers tend to use European hop varieties in the brewing process. This gives it a somewhat more subdued hop profile when compared to American IPAs. |
