I
grabbed the Stone Cali-Belgique IPA as I have an affection for Stone
Brewery and all of their brews. The Cali-Belgique IPA is the Stone IPA
brewed with Belgian yeast. The Belgian IPA has become a popular style of
late and Stone's version builds off the excellent base of the Stone
IPA. The beer poured a golden color with a fluffy white head. The
Belgian yeast made its presence known in the aroma with hints of clove
and bubblegum. The taste was very dynamic. You could taste the Stone IPA
base with its hoppy profile and bitterness. The Belgian Yeast gave it a
subtle tang that boosted the flavor without being overwhelming. The
Cali-Belgique was a nice twist on the Stone IPA and one of the best
Belgian Style IPAs I have tried as the yeast was a nice compliment to
the beer rather than overpowering it. This was another well crafted brew
from the brewers at Stone.
