Interesting Facts
About 300 years ago, the iconic India Pale Ale was created with additional hops to
withstand the five-month sea voyage to India and be served to British troops and civil
servants stationed there.
Today's IPAs typically have citrusy and floral aromas that are most associated with
American hop varieties like Cascade or Centennial, but the classic English East Kent
Golding also remains popular, as indicated by an earthier, herbal aroma. American craft
brewers have pushed the envelope with IPAs, taking them to new limits of hop intensity.
"Imperial" and "Double" IPAs now populate brewery offerings, thrilling hop lovers with
audacious amounts of bitterness and hop flavor. Today, IPA is one of the world's most
appetizing beer styles.
The American IPA is a different animal from the reincarnated IPA style. More flavorful and
stronger than the fading English IPA. Hops are typically American with a big herbal and /
or citric character, bitterness is high as well.
