Folks gave me IPA's all the time thinking as a homebrewer that I must be really into them...I graciously accepted and appropriately gushed over the gift, of course, but secretly said: damn, another IPA. Now I tend to tell them that I don't need bottles and have no room to store the beer cold, so please enjoy them for me. Some insist on my keeping the beers, which I will do, but almost grudgingly. Still, every once in a while an IPA can taste great to me. So, I am not abandoning the style and make full exception for Denny's RIPA (but I make 2.5 gallon batches these days and bottle it for a couple business associates who can't get enough of it - and I do like that one!)
