Any Way You Slice It

From the label“Label explicitly states 'CALIFORNIA INDIA PALE ALE' on front and back. Back label copy describes 'Crispy, Lean & Resinous' with hop varieties, positioning it as a West Coast-style IPA. However, the explicit label designation is 'CALIFORNIA INDIA PALE ALE' which maps to american_pale_ale in the taxonomy (California IPA without 'hazy' or 'double' modifiers, and at 7.2% ABV, not double-IPA range). The copy's reference to 'West Coast or California Style' and the crisp, resinous profile confirm the pale ale/IPA family. Classified as american_pale_ale rather than ipa_other due to the explicit 'INDIA PALE ALE' designation and the West Coast/California positioning.”
