Belgo: Belgian Style India Pale Ale

As I stood gazing at the collection of Fall seasonals and Oktoberfests, I heard the still, small voice of Belgo calling to me: a Belgian style IPA? Stranger things have happened.

Belgo pours a foggy butterscotch hue, with a two-finger head. The hops clamor for attention, but not with the usual grapefruity taste, more of a passion fruit or mango in the mix, maybe a little pineapple. The creamy banana of a Belgian Wit comes in with the aftertaste. All in all a great combination of two great styles.
