Plus the best locally brewed ones to try right now.
1. West Coast
Often uses West Coast hops, like cascade, which impart a huge citrus fruit wallop to go with the bitter. East Coast or Northeast Coast is an altogether more malty and less tame IPA. Try: Russell Punch Bowl
2. Hazy
An unfiltered cloudy style, with lower carbonation and an orange rind/melon taste. Generally less bitter. Sometimes called New England or Juicy. Try: Parallel 49 Trash Panda
3. Single-Hopped
Like it says—uses only a single hop strain, like Citra or Amarillo, to flavour the beer. Try: Twin Sails Dat Juice
4. Milkshake
No milk added, but there are lactose sugars, which impart some thickness and fruitiness. Not crazy bitter. Try: Bridge Brewing The Fuzz
5. Fresh Hop
Comes only for a brief time in the early fall, when hops are ripe and dumped in without drying. Floral, herbal and fresh. Try: Stanley Park Fresh Hop Red IPA
