I still remember when I tried my very first Stone IPA and commented on how magnificently hoppy it was (not necessarily in a good way). I was rather intimidated with the strong hop nose and what I thought at the time was a maddening amount of hops.
From there I tried the DFH60 and then kind of left the IPAs to themselves as I didnt think that I really enjoyed them too much. Somewhere along the line, I picked up a 6er (and later a couple more 12ers) of Sierra Nevada PA. Very tasty, nice (mild) hop profile, but I think that this may be what set me off on a hop headed journey. My last Stone IPA tasted very yummy, but like a Mexican platter - not hot enough. Is there a such thing as 'TOO MUCH' hoppiness for a beer? I love spicy food, and my wife gets pissed when I am dumping the habinero sauce on my plate and I almost see hoppy beers as this. Will I burn my lips off with a more than hoppy beer?
