It's funny, I am mostly a malt head, well, that and yeast. I brew more belgians and big malty Barley wines than almost anything with a fair amount of the other stuff being british style session beers, porters, kolsch type malt focused beers but two of the last three brews for me have been IPA. I think they might have only been the 2nd and third IPAs I've brewed in 7 + years too.
I do agree that overly bitter IPA doesn't work for me but I love lot's of late hop goodness.
