I’m sworn off of them mostly, once in a while I’ll be in the mood, but there’s no exploration, they’re all HOPPY and that’s it. Not like say ambers which have a very wide flavor pallet.
Well that is the definition of an IPA. When you buy one you are expecting hops.
But there are variations in hops just like there are in malts and yeast. I find the Southern Teir 2XIPA tyo be very different than the Great Lakes IPA.
The 2XIPA has white wine notes while the Great Lakes has more fruit flavor.
I have to disagree on the IPAs, but I am with you on the ambers. Troeg’s Hopback is a great amber from PA.
