I used to love Belgian beers and now I've come back full circle to them

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.

I like the Allagash White, recommend "Delirium Tremens" if you've not tried it yet.
