New Belgium Belgo


This may very well be one of my favorite beers that I've had this summer. It's a Belgium style IPA that is super smooth and easy to drink, which is a little dangerous because its ABV is 7%--a little high for a beer that you could easily have multiple of on a warm day. With its Belgium yeast and citrus notes, it's reminiscent of a Blue Moon, but it also has some of the bitterness and hoppiness one would expect from an IPA. Although I am a fan of IPAs on their own, I think that even someone who typically doesn't drink IPAs would like this beer. And if you are someone who would like to expand your tastes to a wider variety of beers (because trust me, IPAs take some time to come around to--while I do enjoy them, I can usually have only one, and even then I tend to drink them slower than I would other beers), I think this would be a good beer to help bridge that gap. But it might not be around for long--New Belgium tends to rotate through their seasonal/specialty beers quickly, so grab a six-pack while you have a chance!
