Message Reid beers 3528 º places 95 º 20:32 Fri 8/15/2014 I know this is going to bring groans and moans but is it time for this to be a "style" on here? I see that these types are overtaking the black IPA/CDAs in breweries.
Message keanex beers 1802 º places 65 º 20:34 Fri 8/15/2014 I wish breweries would be more inventive with their hop choices. Cascade clashes so hard with the Belgian yeast to my palate.
Message Reid beers 3528 º places 95 º 20:35 Fri 8/15/2014 The one I had tonight worked well but it had nugget and Chinook as well as cascade
Message RABinCO P beers 1511 º places 103 º 20:40 Fri 8/15/2014 No. This style should be lost to the ages, and brewing one should be punishable by death.

Message nuplastikk P beers 9843 º places 73 º 23:31 Fri 8/15/2014 Citra is a pretty solid hop choice for White IPA. I don’t associate Cascade with the style. It should have been a style on here two years ago. I’m pretty sure the battle plan is for the site to keep its head in the sand and see what happens. Any sixpacks of White IPA that nail it?
Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 00:15 Sat 8/16/2014 We had a long thread about this recently. I think it should be a style, some others didn’t. So, yeah.
Message Danko 02:12 Sat 8/16/2014 As popular as a wheat IPA is becoming it doesn’t have to be Belgian and it doesn’t have to be a wit/weiss in order to be a White IPA so it’s a bit too arbitrary. We make a very popular one with Calypso hops, mentioning hops.

Message 3fourths P beers 9492 º places 1576 º 03:04 Sat 8/16/2014 Belgian IPA? No thanks. XX Bitter, yes please.
Message Danko 03:19 Sat 8/16/2014 Originally posted by 3fourths Belgian IPA? No thanks. XX Bitter, yes please. I think XX Bitter should always be done the way XXX Bitter is done, and be done with it. But yeah, Belgian IPA is rarely a hit. There are ways to use Belgian yeast and mask the yeast profile among the exotic fruit and juice compot from the hops making the esters part of the hop aromas. This rarely happens. If I have to choose, I prefer little or no yeast by products in a fresh IPA. Except for in Heady Topper, of course.
