My GF doesn't like beer at all and especially hates IPAs. Had her try several, including Elysian Space Dust (my personal favorite), and the only one she liked was Deschutes Fresh Squeezed. She was actually kinda surprised by it.

Don't think too much about it, though, it's hard to get into IPAs, they're not for everybody. I consider myself lucky. One of my friends actually thinks I'm full of shit, that I pretend to like hoppy beer, but there's literally no way to convince people like that.

Either way, based on my GF's experience, my go with Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA. Less bitter, more flavor.

Best advice I can give you is to pay attention to:
>IBUs
>which hops
>which additions (early, late, dry, etc.)
>which hops used for each addition

IPAs are about as prolific in range as beer is to itself, subtle or no. Take it slow, bro.
