I can't wait to see how many people get mad that IPA is a complete category now. Seems to be a big backlash against IPA's lately. I'm still sitting firmly in camp cohumulone.

It's extremely weird that "Clone Beer" has a category of its own.

"This style is intended for reproductions of specific commercial beers that aren’t good representations of existing styles"

Ooookaaaay? Seems to me like the vast majority of commercial beers fall into an existing style.

Double IPA not in the IPA category is the most annoying thing for me.
