My favourite IPA, Big Rock Session IPA is a mere 32 IBUs and for my
tastes, just perfect. Not citrusy or floral. Like APAs it uses
Cascades hops. (Maybe it's a CPA!) BR makes another IPA that is
rated at 67 IBUs and brags about how citrusy it is but I haven't
tried one.

Somewhere between a macro and a micro Big Rock is a western Canadian
regional beer company.

 DS> I have never seen nor had cobia and had to look it up.  Sounds

 ML> Because it's a game fish, not a commercially fished one.
 ML> I don't recall ever seeing it at a fish market.

It's a loner that doesn't school so netting yields low results.
