I know. A lot has been made of this oddly named gem of a beer. How could a "pale" ale be a "black" ale? Good question, and unfortunately for you, I don't have the answer. I only know that this beer deserves a new name. A real name. A true name. A name as unique as its flavor.
@TheBeerWench wrote a great article on the issue on her blog titled "That Which We Call A Rose: The Black IPA Name Debate". She's equally confounded and split on how to handle this obviously delicate and uber-important issue, and that's reflective of many craft beer drinkers.
With all the talk and debate going on, what do you think? Does it need a new name? Already got one in mind? Let the games begin!
