My favorite East cost IPA right nowis the Smuttynose IPA. Like the Shipyard, this one is pretty balance, nice and citrusy. -M Hey Charlie -

Great show. My favorite East cost IPA right nowis the Smuttynose IPA. Like the Shipyard, this one is pretty balance, nice and citrusy.

As for the Lagunitas I'd bet they probably use Columbus for the bittering. I suspect alot of the difference is based that Shipyard went more British IPA in formulation, Lagunitas is definately American IPA in style... How did you come up with your beer scale Charlie? I am used to the BJCP one and I have noticed yours is similar but different. Good show...but it's driving me to drink...I am oughta here :-) Now that I had a listen I think the Shipyard seemed so flat in aroma was due to the only one variety of hop used, Jamil, a prize winning brewer at TBN, he mentioned at one point that with IPAs you need the diversity of hops for good aroma.
