Pros
- The classics in the genre are Bell's Two Hearted and Founders Centennial. Centennial hops in both, which are straight up grapefruit rind.
- Bell's Two Hearted, Sierra Nevada Celebration, when available.
- Parent context: Bell’s Two Hearted Reply: This. Or if you can find Pliny the Elder he will love you forever
- my favorite every day ipa is bells two hearted
- Basically I was at Total Wine picking different singles to try out and got a bottle of Bell's Two Hearted. I'm not usually an IPA guy, but this was single handedly one of the best beers I've tasted. Thought the hops were really tasty, no...
Cons
- I picked up a whole case this time around but found the experience very different, notably much more bitter and lacking that bready backend.
- Bell’s Two Hearted is one of those beers that’s amazing on tap but not as good bottled or canned.
- Parent context: WAS the perfect IPA. Was. Quality has taken a nose dive since they sold out. Reply: Dude, you couldn’t be more wrong. The recipe has NEVER changed, nor the brewing process. Same checklist from front to back as has always...
- WAS a top notch brew. Was. It’s gone downhill since the sale.
- Parent context: It really is perfect Reply: It's profile is overly bitter, and it always tastes slightly skunked. It's one of the he only undrinkable IPAs I've ever encountered. It's memorably awful, time after time.

Basically I was at Total Wine picking different singles to try out and got a bottle of Bell's Two Hearted. I'm not usually an IPA guy, but this was single handedly one of the best beers I've tasted. Thought the hops were really tasty, not super bitter, with a really nice bready (malty?) after taste that I like in beer.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Bell's Two Hearted are my reliable go to choices anywhere in the US.
If you want to try what people consider traditionally an ipa in the US, look for stone IPA, dogfish head 60 or 90 minute or bells two hearted, those are traditional west coast styles
But a decent list of generally available Westies and American IPAs in that style: - 3 Floyds Zombie Dust - Bell's Two Hearted
