    British rather than American, but I wonder if you ever get Ilkley Brewery's Lotus IPA in cask in Ireland? That stuff is wonderful and full of delicious fruit flavours. The bottles are nice, but not as good as cask and not as fruity to my taste.

    agreed. This is certainly what you need. I saw someone mention Founders, Founders Centennial is a great one to look for as well, I get plenty of citrus with lots of red berry notes

    You need to start home brewing that's pretty much your only option.

    The most citrusy IPA's/DIPA's I've had are Maharaja (Avery), Hop Crisis (21st Amendment), The Oracle (Bells), Hop Wallop (Victory), and Hopslam (Bells). Not sure if those are available in your area, but those are the first that come to mind.

    I think they're making it year round now.

    Try brew dogs hardcore if you want a heavier one or jackhammer if you want a citrusy one
    Tempest do several very good american style ipas
    Northern monk have just brought out a good ipa
    Tyne bank do a really good double ipa
    The kernel have a sterling range of ipas
    Partisan also do some amazing ones
    You should also be able to get a hold of brew fist they do an imperial ipa
    The pinnacle over here is probably magic rock expensive stuff but very good cannonball is awesome

    Ironically, the Porterhouse's "Hop Head Ale" was the beer that made me a hophead :grinning:

    I'm convinced SN's ipas use pine soap instead of hops.

    I was going to say just this.
    It is amazing, (and I've said this before) how people will ask about a style, and others will jump in with the most obscure, smallest brewery possible that's impossible to get if you're more than a mile from the brewery. Heck, I'm surprised no one mentioned Hill Farmstead or Trillium yet.

    I do know that there is a small but growing group of brewers in the UK and Europe brewing more American styles, including IPAs with huge aromas and flavors. Besides Brew Dog I can't think of any labels at the moment (I'm only on my first cup of coffee) but look around and you may find something.
    Other than that, homebrewing is a fun hobby (some may say obsession) that will let you eventually tailor your recipes to exactly what you want to drink.
