I get the impression that Belgians are going to be the next IPA. I'm seeing lots of mediocre ales slapping on the "Belgian-style" moniker with nothing in the bottle that justifies their claim.
Most of the "Belgian-style" beers I tasted have been crap. Recently I tried Allagash White and was pretty impressed with it. But, whenever possible, I just go with an actual Belgian beer.
Back in the late 90's I fell in love with a Belgian beer called Moinette that came in a large bottle with a cork on top. It had a high alcohol level at the time. Loved it! To this day, it's still my favorite beer ever.
