If I weren't a homebrewer and hadn't brewed a few of my own IPAs, I would be convinced that I don't like them, based off of what's available commercially. I know I'm not much into hop bitterness, therefore I haven't gone higher than 70 ibus on a 1.052 beer. But it just seems to me that the commercial IPAs aren't balancing all the bitterness with some residual sweetness. I even tried one last night that was supposedly a mass production of an IPA that won the norwegian homebrewing competition. i didn't like it at all.
according to beersmith my IPAs still fit to style, but is it just that they're barely fitting and therefore could barely be called IPAs, or is it that i just don't like them?
