For one reason or another, I brewed one of these a bit ago. As I sit here enjoying one, I'm wondering just exactly what this style is supposed to be.
I may not have brewed this at all accurately, but it tastes basically like a hoppy Irish red. Is there any more nuance to this style that I'm missing? and for that matter, black IPAs?
At least with Belgian IPAs, there's a distinct difference.
In trying to find the guidelines for this style, I ran across is website. http://www.worldbeercup.org/participate/beer-styles/
I'm all for experimentation and pushing boundaries and such, but that is a ridiculous amount of styles. Most of which seem to me to be very minimally different
Ah well, end rant :roll:
