Karl Strauss Blackball Belgian IPA Beer Geek Nation Video Beer Review

Beer Geek Nation presents San Diego Beer Vlog: Karl Strauss Blackball Belgian IPA Video Beer Review

by Ryan on June 5, 2011

When checkered blackball flags dot the California coastline, experienced surfers migrate to advanced breaks where strangers to the sport dare not. Blackball is a Belgian-inspired India Pale Ale with a robust West Coast hop profile. Belgian ale yeast, coriander, and Curacao lend a fruity and spicy character for an ale bolder than your average IPA. A blend of New Zealand and Cascade hops add a vibrant floral aroma and clean citrus hop bitterness that lingers through its crisp, dry finish. Drink up while it’s young, heavily hopped IPA’s are best enjoyed fresh.
