I'm not sure about that. The "New England IPA" style comes from well, Vermont. And when done well is is a smooth, creamy intense hop milkshake.
- victor9000 7y agoSure, if a specific style calls for a pile of hops then of course it will end up very hoppy. But generally speaking, your average west coast beer will be more hoppy than its east cost counterpart.
- SideburnsOfDoom 7y agoA specific, extremely popular style that literally has "east coast" in the name.
- victor9000 7y agoSure, but think outside the scope of a single style. If you compare two pale ales from each region, the west coast pale will undoubtedly be more hoppy than the east coast version. To the point where many west coast pales can easily pass for an east coast ipa.
