Modern NEIPAs do. Back when Dogfish Head was the only NE IPA in town, they were normal and drinkable.
Living in Seattle, every other beer here is a friggin IPA. It’s gotten to a point that I think brewers are just hopping the hell out of their product to be lazy. There’s no subtlety anymore - it’s a bunch of tonsil-punching bitterness.
At least they all swapped to “hazy” and “juicy” hops like citra and mosiac, so the IPAs taste like grapefruit now instead of pine tree sap like they used to.

Honestly I’m sick to death of all the hazy IPAs around. They all taste the same, with a select few exceptions.
Give me a good bitter piney ipa again ar just a solid helles or kolsch and I’m happy
Oh, yeah… and then there’s that. I’m wildly allergic to mosaics! I didn’t known until moving to the PNW.
Yeah, it’s difficult to find something with some distinct flavors.
