I used to like the occasional IPA back before the wokies got ahold of it. Now all the "craft" breweries seem to be in some kind of competition to see who can over-hop their IPA's the most. Most you get now is hopped to the point that it most nearly resembles Listerine....the original kind, not the flavored, low/no alcohol sissy schitt sold today.

See if you can find some Anchor Liberty Ale or Harpoon IPA. Those are classic American IPAs that are not overdone.
I don't think I have ever seen a "cheap" IPA unless it was a brewery mistake. In regard to bang-for-buck, San Tan "Moon Juice" was the reigning champ for a long time but prices have now matched the competition. So now, the best values to me are Coronado "Never Better", Belching Beaver "Phantom Bride", and for a little bit more Stone "Arrogant Bastard".
I like the higher ABV versions because of the more malty taste. But at 7% to 9% a couple is it for me. Sierra Nevada Torpedo is fairly priced and good. New Belgium Voodoo Ranger and VR Imperial are each very good. The Imperial preferably but a little goes a long way. Probably my favorite. Lagunitas Maximus is another good one. Southern Tier 2X IPA is nice. Unita IPA is in the 7% range and is very fairly priced.
None of these have the pure grapefruit juice twang to me. And there are many more out there. IPA has turned into a horse race for brewers.
Adding to the above sentiments “cheap” and “IPA” are mutually exclusive. Maybe Busch will come out with a 12 pack for $7.99 Or a Natty IPA. I’d give it a shot. Anybody ever try the PBR American IPA that was out for a while??

Only exceptionally well made whiskey for me thanks.
