I tried a Stone IPA yesterday that had some Belgian flair and characteristics in it yesterday. It's supposed to be a blend of IPA and a belgian beer. You might want to give that a try.

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.

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

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.

Bass is obvious suggestion but you already know that. Ipa was developed in Britain when they colonized India. More hops + more alcohol preserved it for the long transport to India by sea for the troops.

If I remember ill bring you some of the Baxter on Wednesday.
