As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for West Coast-Style India Pale Ale calls for straw to gold color, low to medium-low malt with no caramel or roast, high to very high assertive hop character, medium to very high bitterness, high attenuation and a dry, crisp finish, at 6.3 to 7.5 percent ABV and 50 to 75 IBU. The published 7% ABV fits that range; no IBU is published.
