The Good IPA

Blue Point Brewing Company
No ratings yet · tap to rate
🌍 United States · American IPA · One of 330 American IPAs in hopIQ

An IPA named for the only thing it needs to be. Blue Point's take on the American IPA leans juicy over piney — citrus zest and stone-fruit hop notes sit on a bready, biscuity malt platform. Not chasing any trend, not particularly loud about itself, just a well-drawn, all-day IPA. Which is, in fact, the good IPA.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
