Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

IPA is the style family that makes many drinkers excited and many others suspicious. One person hears IPA and expects grapefruit, pine, and a firm bitter finish. Another expects soft haze, mango aroma, low bitterness, and a pillowy body. Someone else remembers older English examples with marmalade, earthy hops, and balanced malt. All of those memories can be true, which is why IPA is easier to understand as a family of beers than as one fixed flavor.
