Belgian mixed ipa taste. But can't taste much hops. An interesting balance.



Pours a nice rich copper color. Thick head. Floral nose with some sweetness. Bitter like an IPA and yet sweet like a Belgian. Get some banana, coriander, and subtle caramel. Pretty good stuff.



Having tasted my first Belgian IPA at the Karl Strauss Brewery in Carlsbad, just down the street from Legoland, I was delighted by the richness of the beer. Bitter like an IPA and yet sweet like a Belgian. Darker than an amber but not too dark, this delicious delight ranks high on my list of wonderful beers. I fear I will not find this treat where I live for being too far north from this San Diego brewery.





Coriander and Belgian yeast are prevalent. This beer is fruity and refreshing. The banana taste is also there. It's pretty floral on the nose.
