What makes an IPA "Belgian" is that during the brewing process, the final strain of yeast is Belgian, which gives the beer a sharper, final bitterness and a much drier flavor than other IPA styles.
The combination of fine esters of Belgian yeast and American hops creates a rich palette of spicy and fruity aromas and flavors. Fresh pears, oranges, peaches and limes dominate. The subtle maltiness transitions into a drier finish and, together with higher bitterness, creates high drinkability.
We prepared the beer in cooperation with the Hradec tavern Malý Růžek, which specializes in small breweries, together with the operator and big brewery fan Vojta Doležal.

Pretty solid Belgian IPA. Certainly leaning towards saison end. But still IPA-ish enough. I would not expect this coming from Czechia. Very nice
