Cali-Belgique IPA

A strange blend brew. The IPA bitterness is there, along with a kind of funky malt taste that eases a bit after several sips. I'm sure the bottle raves about the greatness of this brew as they all do from this brewer, but I'm thinking average at best. But as always, points for originality. ID
