I love IPA, apparently the American ones are a bit different to the classic UK ones which were designed for export to the Raj.
I have found some are absolutely gross though, maybe you’re getting recommended these ones? Brewdog make one called Punk IPA which all the hipsters love but honestly it tastes like bongwater (I imagine [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).
My favourite is Durgrund’s Hellfire, which I believe is only sold by Dwarf Brewmaster Josef Bugman.

The UK ones have a lower IBU on the higher end, I think.
I also know it is possible to have a pale ale and an IPA with the same approximate IBU when the IPA gets all its IBU from dry hops and the pale ale brings in some other agent. But the IPA will have a more bitter flavor. This is the case with a place near me.
