91% IPA, Craig??
YIKES!! That's 182 Proof - a little strong for an IPA. Pretty strong even for an Irish Whiskey,
other than maybe Haich O'Mannder's moonshine.
Most IPA's I've encountered (and I'm not a big fan of IPA's) are about 7% or under, and even a
good Barley Wine is usually not over 10.5-11.0%.
