American IPA
Quote:
Description:
The American IPA is a different soul from the reincarnated IPA style. More flavorful than the withering English IPA, color can range from very pale golden to reddish amber. Hops are typically American with a big herbal and / or citric character, bitterness is high as well. Moderate to medium bodied with a balancing malt backbone.

Average alcohol by volume (abv) range: 5.5-7.5%

Style Examples
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Two Hearted Ale Bell's Brewery, Inc
Stone IPA Stone Brewing Co.
60 Minute IPA Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

This is my point. Why call it an IPA if it is not. The English IPA is more buyable since it was the English who brewed the IPA.

And I'm familiar with Dogfish since they are from this area and the sponsor brewer of a local entertainment venue. However, not all of their product is, to my taste, that palatable. Also, familiar with SN & Stone. Not bad, but not something I would go out of my way to get.
