IPA

Can anyone find a more pathetic branding of a beer as "IPA"?

Harveys India Pale Alei is 3.2% alcohol and has very, very little hop character.   There is a caramel - malt flavour but not much else.   An IPAi is supposed to have a pronounced

Very pale and hoppy without being too bitter.  Hops coming in strong at the end.  Only problem I could find with this overall fantastic beer is that it's a touch too sweet perhaps.

For an American IPAi, this is very much in the English style.   Earthy hops with loads of bitterness balanced by some malt body.

This is an American blow-your-head-off with hops style IPAi.   Loads of pine resin hoppiness with a bitter afterglow.   Big, brash and in-your-face beer.

IPAi in the English style with a good earthy hoppiness but not too much bitterness in this pale beer.

This is a good example of an English IPAi.   It has an earthy, spicy hop flavour with a good amount of hop flavour but balanced by the malt taste.
