IPAs are generally too alcoholic and overly hopped. IMHO, this is not for the same reason that IPAs were originally produced in the UK. These "craft" beers (didn't it used to be "micro-brews"?) are poorly made. The brewers hide the flaws in their technique by bumping up the alcohol and doubling or tripling the hop flavoring until these beers are so bitter that they leave a nasty aftertaste. They sometimes have a real "barnyard" note in their aroma that is downright sickening.
Try a real British ale like Fuller's or Marston's. These are truly pleasant to drink.
One last shot at the craft IPA brewers. They seem to spend more time coming up with idiotic names and labels for their beers than they spend actually making the beer. Some of the names and labels are truly pornographic or demonic. Yecch.
You can hide a lot of faults in an IPA. The hardest beer for a homebrewer to make is an American light. The trick is to brew it double strength an cut it with water when kegging/bottling. That’s how Coors light is made. Saves on lagering space.
