I had your new IPA last night and in an attempt to practice what I preach I will give you some feedback:) It was not as I expected.... There was a good bitterness but not much hop flavor or aroma, both of these were dominated by cloves and a little banana. I suspect there may have been some cross infection from your weissbier yeast...? The beer wasn't bad though and I finished it but I wouldn't call it an IPA...

I know the difference between fruity hops and fermentation esters and especially phenols, this was mainly phenols. The bitterness was the only hop derived component that put this in the IPA range. I may have gotten a rogue bottle but otherwise there are issues you may want to attend to.
