Jai Alai is an awesome IPA. with Lagunitas, you may have just had an older one. I also find Jai Alai to be super fruity / citrusy, with much less bitterness than a Lagunitas. You may just like that style more.
fortunately if there is one style Americans have too much of, it's IPA's. every region is producing amazing ones. even non "local" ones to where I live, but I can still get fairly fresh, like Perpetual and Flower Power are top notch. and that's before I drive into Vermont
