I agree. It is very strange that their IPA is less hoppy than their lager. But it is [i:1gl4g967]East[/i:1gl4g967] India Pale Ale. Perhaps it's a sub style...

I just think it a little funny that two big America craft brewer seem to under hop the British styles, oh well still worth drinking

It's curious alright. I suppose they must under compensate when translating the American styles back into the original.

Gosh, I thought it was very hoppy, hoppier than I wanted at the time even. And hoppier than the Hooker I had afterwards.

Admittedly I didn't try the lager, so I don't know what that was like <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
