Or a beer thats on target to be malty - balanced - hoppy
I saw mention in another post about the ratio of IBU:OG and that same thread had graph of OG vs. IBUs.

I did some googling about IBU:OG but I'm still a bit clueless on what that number tells you. The graph is interesting -- but is it a style chart - a suggested range of brewing values ---- or what if your recipe is "off the chart" into the white areas is that bad ? Both sound interesting as tools but I'm not sure how they relate back to the actual beer you will create.
My head hurts
