Hi,

Latest brew looks like it's finished at 7.4% & 72 IBU.

(OG - 1.071
FG - 1.015)

Would this be considered an IPA or an Imperial IPA? To me, it seems right in the middle...

Cheers
 
It's a tad high in OG and IBUs for an IPA, but it's probably not perceptible. If I was entering it in competition, I'd probably go with IPA as an IIPA is usually "bigger" and bolder and a smaller version of an IIPA would not do as well in competition unless it was particularly outstanding.

however, it's more important to go by taste and decide. If it tastes like an IIPA, then that's what it is.
