I wanted to make a Canadian Export ale. This has more body than that style I believe. An experienced beer maker/taster/drinker friend says that this turned out to be an excellent example of an IPA. I'll take his word for it. It tastes great, that's all I know. For all you yanks out there, it's named in honour of our glorious queen.
