India Pale Ale, IPA

"India Pale Ale (IPA for short) is a top-fermented beer belonging to the ales group. It is often mistakenly called Indian Pale Ale. India Pale Ale is significantly stronger (6.6% - 12% alcohol content) and more bitter than its close relative – the Pale Ale."

India Pale Ale (IPA) originated in England in the mid-19th century. Based on Pale Ale, the alcohol content was increased and more hops were used in the brewing process, allowing the beers to survive the sea voyage from England to the English colonies. (High alcohol content and a high hop quantity extend the shelf life of beer.) Therefore, IPAs today typically have an IBU (International Bitterness Unit) value of approximately 50–70, although there is no upper limit to the hop bitterness of India Pale Ales. However, the average human palate can no longer discern a difference above approximately 120 IBU.

Similarly, further subcategories with styles such as West Coast IPA, East Coast IPA, Northern European IPA, Imperial IPA, Session IPA, New England IPA and Black IPA have developed from India Pale Ale.
