Imperial IPAs, I have found, can correct an overexuberant hop profile with their increased malt presence, but can still be ruined. :/
At least we have 1,000 Hazy IPA options now!...........
This is the real reason I've become so militant against IPAs. I agree there are a few good ones, but there are just soooooooo many. The tipping point for me came a few years ago when I stopped at a bar in Hood River that had six beers on tap...five IPAs and an APA.
