    I had a good belgium IPA at delerium cafe in Brussels, and I can not (for some reason) remember what the name of it was. It was on tap/ the page for it was a green logo (I know that sounds dumb) and it was bout 10%. Oh yea and that was this summer about the end of July.

    Anyway, has anyone made a good Belgium IPA. I think I would prefer one on the clean tasting / dry side.

    Thanks,

    David

    Batch size: 3 gal
    OG: 1.076
    ABV (est): 7.4%
    SRM: 5
    IBU: 62

    Ingredients:
    2.5 lbs Belgian two-row
    2.5 lbs Belgian pils
    1 lb clear Belgian candi sugar
    1 lb pilsener DME
    1 oz Northern Brewer (60 min)
    .5 oz Sterling (20 min)
    .5 oz Sterling (10 min)
    .5 oz Sterling (5 min)
    .5 oz Sterling (1 min)
    1 oz Sterling (dry hop)
    Chimay yeast (harvested)

    Ever had this? Stone Cali-Belgique IPA

    It's supposedly the same Stone IPA recipe with a Belgian yeast. I had it on tap there over Thanksgiving and it was pretty interesting.

    The beer you had was Houblon Chouffe by Achouffe. We had that at the Delirium cafe a few weeks ago. It's execellent!
