What is IBU ?

IBU stands for International Bitterness Unit, IBU is a broad indicator of the hop in the beer. Most are theoretical measures calculated by the brewer rather than actual readings sampled in a laboratory. Even when exact , a number above 40 or 50 IBU does not necessarily translate to proportionally higher bitterness on the palate, not least because apparent bitterness is reduced by sweet maltiness, though any beer north of 50 IBU should be hoppy.
