you can still have a balanced IPA @ 120 IBU's, you just need to up the malt bill a tiny bit.

Fair enough. I suppose I can honestly say I haven't had as much experience with IPAs so I should give it a shot before I start to make assumptions. I'll keep a couple of old socks on hand, just in case  8-)

DFH 120 is case in point.  I hear it's actually kind of sweet for 120ish IBUs.

The Fall version was very malty and sweet, perfectly balanced and almost no perceptible alcohol.
This Winter version seems less malty to me, and more alcohol taste, but it's younger than the fall was when we tasted it.
But, you'll be able to tell for yourself...Tomorrow!

I look forward to it! By the way, is there any sense in packing up any beer to share at some point through the afternoon, or will all of our sampling be done on tour.
