Common descriptors are
The origination of the IPA, or India Pale Ale, style of beer came about in the 18th century when British brewers had their Pale Ale spoil when they attempted to export it on ships to India. In order to solve this problem, brewers added extra hops to their Pale Ale. These extra hops acted as a natural preservative so that the beer would still be good when it reached India.
