    Yeah, this.

    Also other (D)IPAs (Wipeout,Fresh Hop, and even Anniversary) from Port are very citrusy. I like those a lot!

    Jai Alai is an amazing, amazing beer. I'd have to do a side-by-side of it and Heady to determine my feelings on that comparison, but I will say that I believe Jai Alai to be better than ZDust.

    I seriously cannot stress enough how awesome (AWESOME) Great Lakes Alchemy Hour is, though. Honestly, I have not been so surprised by a beer in a long time. It is so citrusy and sweet, yet bitter and balanced. I had no idea GL could produce such a brilliant beer having only had Conway's before. I will be seeking more of their stuff out now. Please, do yourself a favor and try to get a hold of this stuff. It's underrated on here at around a 90. Believe that.

    Pipeworks Citrus Ninja and the like should be tried.

    I'll never buy Mongo bottles again. Only in kegs. It's really fresh in kegs.

    I had Mongo on tap in PA, they also had Hopsickle on as well, and Mongo punked it. Never thought Hopsickle would take a beating, but Mongo IMO is Hopsickle +..

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Flower Power. I'm pretty sure you can get that in NY. :wink:

    Troeg's Nugget Nectar is a nice citrus bomb though not by their definition an IPA, whatev. Finally had Headhunter & Hopslam which were very good as was the Alchemy Hour...citrusy is definitely more to my palate's liking for IPAs. The piney cat piss-like chokers are a total drain pouring turn off for me.

    Society & Solitude #6 is a super citrus bomb. I prefer S&S 4&5 more, but 6 has more citrus. Kern and HF citras(single and double) are also great choices. Certain batches of Pliny seem to have a unique citrus profile with a pineapple sort of taste. I think most recently there was a batch from sometime in 12/12 that was outstanding.

    Couldn't agree more, I've had quite a few Heady T's and have tried Pliny, but just got a hold of my first Gandhi-Bot a few weeks ago, wow, you will not be disappointed, New England Brewing Co. has a winner here, you just have to find it.

    when you say "citrus" - do you mean more of lemon zest like hop profile?

    I find most Stone's offerings have this quality like Enjoy By. RR's PtE also.

    Short's Hopstache, out now, should also be in this list.

    I really enjoyed Founders Centennial. I would consider it definitely more on the citrussy end of the hop spectrum, albeit, perhaps not what one may consider a citrus "bomb." But highly recommend, nonetheless!
