Ballantine India Pale Ale is back after over twenty years....not the triple X brewed by Falstaff (which is still and has always been around), but the India Pale Ale. Bought my last 6-pack in the mid 1990's. At that time, the triple X was $2.50 a six pack and the India Pale Ale was $4.50 a six pack. The latest version is brewed by Pabst and is just what an English India Pale Ale should taste like IMHO.
So that means I was drinking this stuff before the craft brew revolution and before it was called "IPA." It is only recently back on the market. I have already gone through several cases. Give it a try, although it is not being distributed in every state. Those old enough will remember it. I'm 58.
As an aside, when there was no Ballantine India Pale Ale, I was drinking Wild Goose India Pale Ale which was brewed in Maryland. When they went out, the closest other India Pale Ale I could find that I liked for regular drinking was Full Sail India Pale Ale out of Oregon.
The Ballantine is 7.2%, but you'd never know it. Nice tasting without being harsh and smooth on the finish.

My dad and I brew beer together, and we've made some pretty killer IPA's in the past. Good bonding experience, and its like a present to yourself just a few months later.

Did alot of shopping trips to Osan, Korea. My CO was flying a desk, but liked to take one of the old C-47's over to Korea to buy tennis shoes and boots. We'd ride along. This plane had been in service since 1939! We had two others for parts.

A man after my own heart! Can't beat a good stout, as far as I'm concerned. I drink lighter stuff most of the time, though - my Drifter's shocks appreciate it!!
