IPAs brings up another point that comes to mind. I enjoy the occasional IPA (I'm more of a malt man, myself), and the obsession with cramming more and more hops into a brew has always baffled me. I mean, I get the enjoyment of the crispness and bitterness of hops, but triple or more the usual amount of a standard IPA? It makes my mouth pucker just thinking about it.
