Delta IPA: quick guide to Belgian IPAs
Belgian IPAs combine the fragrant and fruity character of Belgian yeasts with the hoppy intensity of India Pale Ales. The result is often a golden beer with persistent foam and aromas ranging from citrus to lychee and passion fruit.
What is a Belgian IPA?
- Base: light or golden malt structure.
- Yeast: Belgian strains producing fruity esters (lychee, pear, light spices).
- Hops: citrusy and resinous profiles typical of IPAs, often dry-hopped.
- Impression: balance between freshness, pronounced bitterness, and fruity/tropical notes.
Belgian IPA vs British IPA
- British IPA: maltier, light caramel tones, less fruity yeast, earthy and spicy English hops.
- Belgian IPA: more exotic and fruity due to Belgian yeasts, with greater emphasis on esters and citrus/tropical aromas.
Belgian IPA vs White IPA
The White IPA combines Wit (wheat, coriander, orange peel) with a hoppy IPA: lighter body and spicy notes. The Belgian IPA focuses on Belgian yeasts and the balance between esters and hoppy bitterness.
Tasting and pairings
- Temperature: 6–9°C in a tulip glass or goblet.
- Pairings: spicy dishes, Asian cuisine (sushi, ceviche), fresh cheeses, dishes with citrus or mango.
