I've never had a Belgian IPA that I liked...they just always seem wrong.

You got some recommendations for non american IPA's? Did know they existed really. I guess they should since the beer style didn't originate in the US but I don't see them.

Well, the "American" tag usually just denotes a slightly kicked up IPA. For a classic English IPA I'd go with Sam Smiths or perhaps Fullers.

Here's a list of what Beeradvocate considers to be English variants, although most of these people would just regular IPA. The imports are much softer on the pallet.
