IPA stands for India Pale Ale. It is a beer style that originated in England and later became popular in India due to demand during the British colonial era.

IPA beer is characterized by its prominent hop flavor and relatively high bitterness. This style of beer typically has a light golden to amber appearance, while the hop flavor may have citrus, pine, floral, and other types of aromas and flavors.

In the process of making IPA beer, brewers usually use a large amount of hops, especially in hop addition and dry-hopping, to add hop flavor. This style of beer is usually more bitter, but also shows off the balance of the malt, giving it a relatively multi-layered flavor profile.

There are many variations of IPA beer, including American IPA (American IPA), English IPA (English IPA), Double/Triple IPA (Double/Triple IPA), etc., each with its own unique characteristics and flavors. It’s a fairly popular style among beer drinkers, notable for its rich hop flavor.
