Hybrid beers can be a very enjoyable experience when done right. So when I came across a bottle of Stone Cali-Belgique IPA during the beer world’s recent India Pale Ale celebration, I knew I had to bring a bomber home with me.To create this IPA, Stone Brewing Co. takes its traditional Stone IPA and infuses it with Belgian yeast. The result is a full flavored Stone IPA with a deliciously orange taste and a remarkably clean and crisp finish. In other words, Cali-Belgique is a 22 ounce bottle of awesome sauce.
Combining two amazing beer styles perfectly, this Stone craft provides a unique twist on an already delicious standard. Cali-Belgique combines the best features of a traditional Belgian with the generous hoppiness one expects from a California IPA.
It also pours with a thick fluffy head that refuses to dissipate until the beer is finished. The head carries with it a very sweet taste that adds an extra little something to every drink you take. This beer drank easy, drank quickly, and left me wishing I had another waiting for me in the fridge.
Stone Cali-Belgique IPA comes in at 9.5 mugs out of 10.
