Native Amber comes in at 35 IBU, so even by definition it won’t qualify for an IPA.

Zeppelin, Gran Sport Porter, DNR, Horny Toad, Seasonal offerings of Stout and others, do not qualify as IPA’s per the following BJCP guidelines, http://www.bjcp.org/styles04/Category14.php. I would recommend you read and understand these guidelines before you just say that pretty much everything from COOP is an IPA. What’s wrong lager boy? Afraid you might taste something? :)

It is one thing to dislike a brewery but to just spout off and brand everything just shows ignorance.

Are you saying Native Amber inst an amber beeer? If so, I, as well as many others will disagree. A great,albeit hoppy, version of an American-style amber and would do well alongside the west coast versions as well. By all counts not an IPA. That being said I won’t repeatedly go over my disdain for how beers cross categories and local beers get put alongside next to beers like dogfish 60min.

If anything it tastes like an IPA (which is pretty much everything from COOP).
