These beers are highly attenuated with an assertive hop character and a dry, crisp finish. Versions brewed with darker malts, non-traditional yeasts, fruits, spices, or other flavorings are categorized as Experimental India Pale Ale. Any use of thiolized yeasts, terpene blends or any other advanced hop products should not overwhelm the beer and should be in harmony with overall flavor profile While the West Coast India Pale Ale style has been around for some time, the style itself has progressed over time from original inception to modern day examples - this guideline serves to align directly with modern-day examples of the style.
