Sounds like John is describing a typical west coast IPA that was popular 10-15 years ago.
Todays IPAs are far worse offenders. They taste like OJ and many even contain milk sugar lol
The IPA is the tip of the iceberg. Fruited sours and imperial stouts with more adjuncts than a candy bar are all the rage.
My take is drink what you like. I do enjoy a good NEIPA but have been drinking mostly unfiltered lagers, pilsners and the occasional Belgian quad of late.
I will say the NEIPA is a vast improvement over the European variety of India pale ale. This was not a style meant to be the best but rather a style created for the beer to keep on the journey over to the English colonies from my understanding.
