The trick is to balance the other flavors against the hoppiness in an IPA

[Taverner]

Some IPA's just don't fucking get that.

They add the same amount of malt as they would a lager or stout.

This one I'm drinking right now rocks

A close second:

White Hawk is a traditional IPA .The IPA recipe is based on the original 1880 brew that was sent to India for the British troops.The advent of India Pale Ale was born of a need to supply beer in the 1800's to British troops in India. This hearty, heavily hopped ale was brewed to endure the rigors of the long voyage from Great Britain.

White Hawk Original IPA was launched in California in early 2002 to meet the demand for a unique India Pale Ale. Consumer response for White Hawk IPA exceeded expectations and it is fast gaining a loyal following both in 6 pack and on draft.

Our Brewmasters created this IPA based on the original recipe and the result is perfection.
