Fruitiest IPA/DIPA?

Stone's IPA

 

Zombie Dust (though its just a pale ale, but its way more IPA-ish than some IPAs), Stone 16th Anniversary (lemon ftw) and Sculpin. Lagunitas Daytime is up there too, very citrus and mango.

 

Oh man I can't believe I forgot Aprihop. One of my absolute favorites, I await it every year. I guess my brain just blocks out the memory when it knows I can't get it.

 

Well, since all of the other Lagunitas hoppy beers have been mentioned I'll go ahead and add Maximus to the list. It's like you grilled a pineapple until it becomes a bit mellow and caramelized, and juiced it along with half a tangerine and a few strawberries. I don't know if it's the 'fruitiest' but it's definitely super fruity, and a damn good beer all the same. Probably my favorite from them, and I'm glad to see it's year-round now.

Speaking of which- keep an eye out for the soon to be year-round Sucks for a blast of citrusy goodness.

 

Zombie Dust is from Indiana.

With your location you (or we) can better view your available options and select some tasty beers.

 

Aprihop makes sense, as far as being a 'fruity' IPA - are there any other IPAs that specifically also incorpoprate fruit versus getting the grapefruit/mango notes from the hop bill?

 

Heady Topper, Flower Power, Lagunitas Sucks and most recently, Three Heads The Kind IPA. All worth trading for if inaccessible to you.

 

Fresh Flower Power

 

Not that it's going to be available for long or to many people, but Hill Farmstead Society and Solitude #5 is brewed with grapefruit and is incredible!

For more widely available, try FW Double Jack. Tastes like hopped orange juice, awesome stuff.

 

Cigar City Jai Alai IPA & Tocobaga Red ale Lagunitas little sumpin' sumpin ale.

 

If get a chance to try the Ranch Series DIPA from Victory give it a shot. Peach notes and alot of hops!

DJ is awesome.

 

Nothing comes close to Lagunitas Sucks, which is why I'm saving for a case when it comes out again.

 

Harpoon Leviathan smelled like an apricot to me.

 

Most of Hill Farmstead's IPAs and DIPAs are crazy good citrus bombs. I

 

I like floral, piney, resiny IPAs, but I just LOVE those hop-bombs that smell and taste like grapefruit, lemon, and sweet oranges.

Fat Heads Head Hunter has massive notes of lemon and orange on the nose and lots of grapefruit on the palate.

Three Floyds Dreadnaught reeks of peaches, grapefruit, and mango. The malt backbone makes the beer really creamy too.

Heady Topper smells awesome (even from the can). I thought there was lots of fruit flavor both on the nose and on the palate.

Not ``officially'' an IPA, but Three Floyds Zombie Dust is one of the more fruit-forward, aggressively-hopped beers I've ever had.

 

Bedlam by Ale Asylum is very peachy, but I think that one's spring seasonal only and it's limited to WI I'm guessing.

 

Bodhi, if you ever get the chance. Fantastic stuff.

 

Orange Whip from Mad Fox. All citra hops = juicy fruit in beer form.
