I've wondered this for a bit, what makes an IPA Belgian? Is it the yeast alone? Anything else?

Do you get some fruity esters from it? What temp do you ferment at?

This looks pretty good. Another simple one. And I like the Centennial."On it. I hate software." ~Cpt Snarklepants

i need to try a few commercial examples of this before i would commit to a batch. For me, the thing i really enjoy in an IPA is a very clean palate behind a big hoppy punch to the throat. so the idea of messing that all up with an estery begian yeast just seems wrong.The only thing between me and a train wreck is blind luck..... - Kenny

Update: Kegged this beer last week and I have to say its pretty good. Malty but with a strong hop presence that makes it fairly well balanced. I'll be curious to see how well it improves over the next week or two.

does it taste like Belgo?
