Beer Style: India Pale Ale
American IPA – The flagship American craft beer
American IPAs continue to dominate the craft beer market. Gordon Strong brings his knowledge of crafting a delicious homebrewed version of this style, for all to enjoy.
Gordon Strong’s American IPA
My recipe is a bit old school since I’m not using the latest sexy hop varieties. I’m just using good old Centennial, which was first called a “Super Cascade” when introduced. It has many of the same characteristics, like citrus, grapefruit, and pine. It’s like talking to an old friend.
Revolution Brewing’s Louie Louie clone
Using a whooping 5.5 lbs. (2.5 kg) of hops per barrel, Revolution Brewing’s Louie Louie it was a hop bomb, but should not technically have any “IBUs” based on isomerized alpha acids.
HBW IPA
The beer is an easy drinking IPA with a restrained bitterness. The Australian and New Zealand hops impart bright flavors and aromas of tropical and citrus fruits. We think of it as sunshine in a glass, a perfect beer for summer.
Fourpure Brewery’s Juicebox Citrus IPA clone
Juicebox is a citrus IPA packed full of orange zest and aromatic hops and is packaged by Fourpure in kegs and cans. As the essential oils are held in suspension, it’s best drunk fresh!
Oskar Blues Brewery’s Pinner clone
Pinner targets quaffability on multiple fronts – with smooth but apparent bitterness, just enough mouthfeel and an array of hop flavors that are not only supported by the malt, but married to it. Tropical citrus, light pine with a toasted malt accent.
Oskar Blues Brewery’s IPA clone
Pleasant and drying bitterness brings citrus, melon, pepper, and wine grape aromas and flavors alive in this exclusively Australian-hopped, West Coast style IPA.
Ballantine Brewing Co.’s Ballantine IPA clone
Ballantine carried the hoppy torch for many years with their Ballantine IPA. You can try to recreate that classic amber-colored beer with this recipe.
West Coast Style IPA
A recipe inspired by Green Flash’s West-Coast IPA. Big late hopping and dry hopping additions give a big boost while the bitterness and malts balance each other nicely. Recipe written by Jamil Zainasheff
