Karl Strauss "Blackball Belgian Style IPA" - USA (ABV 8.5%)

Another enjoyable West Coast USA hop filled beer. This one is a Belgian inspired IPA made using Belgian ale yeast, coriander, curacao, Cascade and New Zealand hops.

I am not sure how fresh this bottle was but it still had a citrus hop bitterness with crisp finish. The Belgian yeast and adjuncts give it a spiciness but there is still some floral hop to the aroma.

A quite good USA IPA with a little Belgian twist.
