Old style IPA also is good but it’s nothing like what IPA means now
IPA used to (and still does in some places and to some people) high alcohol (6 to 8%), low malt flavour, very bitter, no hop flavour
It was made for export to India (hence the name) in the age of sail, they believed the hop bitters and alcohol would make it last long enough for the 3 month trip plus however long it took to be sold.
