    You see, I thought Belgian IPAs were standard IPA grain/hop bills that were fermented with Belgian yeast strains.

    I've seen Flying Dog Raging Bitch mentioned a couple of times in this thread, but I don't think it fits the bill.

    As I've understood Belgian IPAs- I agree with your take. White IPAs are usually just hopped-up wits, while Belgian IPAs are usually ales fermented with a Belgian yeast strain, with big hop bills.

    Yep you're right. When I said wits I meant belgian wits with belgian yeast strains. I said wits for the sake of this thread but many Belgian IPA's don't use wheat in the grain bill. However, some white IPA's are like Belgian wits, with a wheat base, belgian spices and a belgian yeast strain, yet they are hopped like an IPA (like Chainbreaker or Blue Moon White IPA, etc.) and called "White IPA's" at least by the brewery.

    Cheers!
