1. HF Double Citra (4.55 - tie)

Noble Ale Works Mosaic Showers
Russian River Pliny the Elder
Bear Republic Racer X
Bell's Hopslam
Alpine Beer Company Pure Hoppiness

There are others, but that'll make me sound like an alcoholic.....

 

One more shot:

Hill Farmstead -Abner
Stone - Enjoy By
Noble Ale Works - Tongue Tickles
Russian River - Pliny the Elder
Kern River - Anniversary Winter Ale
Alpine - Exponential Hoppinness
Lagunitas - Sucks (does this really even count)
Stone - RuinTen
Bear Republic - Racer X
Port - Hop 15 (though this year's was meh)
AleSmith - Summer YuleSmith
Anchorage - Bitter Monk (don't know if this counts, but it's top 3 beers for me)

 

Try Three Weavers / Noble Ale Works The Messenger. It's fucking delicious.

 

How's that NAW Tongue Tickle?
