Top 10 English IPA (India Pale Ales)
This Top Ten English IPA or India Pale Ales list is from the results of the U.S. Open Beer Championship, Great American Beer Festival, and Ratebeer.com. India pale ales are characterized by medium-high hop bitterness with a medium to high alcohol content. Hops from a variety of origins may be used to contribute to a high hopping rate. Note that “earthy and herbal English-variety hop character” is the perceived end, but may be a result of the skillful use of hops of other national origins. This pale gold to deep copper-colored ale has a medium to high, flowery hop aroma and may have a medium to strong hop flavor. English-style India pale ales possess medium maltiness and body. ABV: 5.10% – 7.10%. IBU: 35-65.
