It is one of the reasons I asked this question. Very important in this site's FAQ to make it clear what the difference is between the sites. I feel there is a lot of overlap between the two. – Brettski Jan 15 '13 at 23:03

I'm not sure this would be a great question for this site, as this term is easily searchable on Google. I suggest coming up with a different example instead. – jmort253 Jan 12 '13 at 5:21

A more interesting question than what IPA stands for is what it really means from the perspective of a drinker; i.e. what is an IPA expected to taste/look/smell like? What makes it different from a regular pale ale? – LessPop_MoreFizz Jan 12 '13 at 14:23
Something like this? – wax eagle Jan 29 '13 at 20:19
