This might be a silly question, but I'm trying to pinpoint what makes belgian beers taste belgian-y. Lately I've been trying a lot of them, and find them to be quite delicious, but very different from any non-belgian style I've tried, and from the strong ales to tripels to quads, they all have a common sort of underlying flavor, and I don't know what the major contributing factor to this flavor is?
Is it a specific malt? Specific hop? Belgian yeast? Or something else?
Or am I not making sense that they "taste belgian" ?
