Ipa

Someday, dear language learner, you must stop poring over IPA charts and start listening to people.

I can't read IPA symbols.

Can you read IPA symbols?

I'm pretty sure there are more vowels in the English language than the IPA says there are.

To make the IPA /ʈ/ sound, one must first place their tongue in a retroflex position.

However, beyond lexis, the Macmillan range includes other adaptations, such as IPA encoding which reflects Indian English pronunciation, and etymologies that distinguish between "tatsama" and "tadbhava" terms, based on McGregor (1992).

Those two proposals included a few retired and para-IPA letters, but consideration of historical and para-IPA modifiers was largely deferred until the IPA could more fully discuss the desired scope of such encoding through the newly established Alphabet, Charts and Fonts Committee. […] By ‘para-IPA,’ we mean symbols that are commonly used within IPA notation but that are not themselves part of the IPA alphabet.

Not bad for an amber or pale ale, but India pale ale, I don't think so. So why does Bass put IPA on the label?
