6 Regional IPAs - what do you like?

Interesting topic for discussion

Breakside's head brewer has identified 6 regional IPAs that it is going to brew at it's new Hop Lab.

• the golden, resinous, strong IPAs of Southern California, typified by friends at Pizza Port, Bagby, Beachwood, Noble Ale Works, and Ballast Point

• the soft , hazy and estery IPAs of New England in the vein of Hill Farmstead, Nightshift, and Trillium

• the piney and citric IPAs of the Pacific Northwest and Northern California made timeless by Firestone Walker, Russian River, and Barley Brown’s

• the over-the-top, weighty IPAs of the Midwest inspired by Fat Heads, Columbus Brewing, Brew Kettle, Three Floyds and Surly

• the rich and saturating IPAs of the Mountain West a vein that runs from Melvin in Jackson, WY, south through Denver to Albuquerque, home of Bosque, La Cumbre, and Canteen

• the fruity and oily IPAs from the Southern Hemisphere


Is this breaking it up too much? I haven't really noticed the difference between the midwest and Mountain west IPAs.

I'm not sure which IPAs he's referring to in the "Southern Hemisphere".

It seems like the southeast has been left out of the equation for style of IPA - so what does typify a southeastern IPA?
