    Pale ale and IPA are the same, IPA should have spicy, earthy aromas

    It’s just that IPA became fashionable, and new brewers cover up their inexperience in brewing by adding way too many hops

    Looking at you, USA

      It’s the same in Canada. I avoid small brewers that are known for their IPAs, and also people that claim IPAs are their favourite.

        Eh, I totally understand where you’re coming from, but I also think that a lot of those up and comers try their hand at hazy IPAs. They might not always be the most polished, but I do appreciate that these new breweries rely more on bold flavor rather than clarified appearance, you know?
