    Cellermaker seems to have steamed to the head of the pack w/this superb release. Very much in the London3/heavy fruity ester sytle. Outrageous nose and absurdly crushable at 7%. What are folks other favorite canned CA NEIPAs at the moment?

    Moonraker has some really amazing stuff, particularly their ___ Crush NE Pale Ale series, which are more IPA'ish with their 6% ABV. (Citra Crush, Mosaic Crush, Simcoe Crush, Equinox Crush, Galaxy Crush, Jungle Crush which is a blend of all of the above.)

    My vote for longest acronym in craft beer today. Well done. What's next? ECEAWCNEIPA? East Coast Emulating A West Coast NE IPA?

    I sold Green Flash on the east coast quite a while back. We had it on our in-house list as GFWCIPA. I loved the beer then and the moniker now. Good memories. Funny how this beer world rolls along.

    In the Pacific NW, I would say it is the 2017 Three Way IPA collaboration brewed by Fort George, Great Notion and Reuben's.

    The ones I've tried have been atrocious. Perhaps I just won't like the style

    Another vote for Alvarado Street Brewery in Monterey. Contains no Juice, Cool Runoffs, Cold Pressed. These guys are churning out world class stuff right now. Looking forward to trying DeLorean Dust tonight.

    I will never tell. Until I figure out what that acronym means, anyway.

    I've had quite a few from all and Moonraker Electric Lettuce is world class for the style. Monkish Lines was ridiculous also.

    I just assumed there was an IPA (4ish-8%) and a double IPA (8%+) :stuck_out_tongue:

    Great topic

    In my opinion, Monkish is the absolute king but Great Notion is making up ground.

    A few that haven't been named but deserve a mention.

    Abnormal
    Cloudburst

    It's because the OP titled the thread WCNEIPA, but the content of the post says California NEIPA.

    I don't like Monkish (been there 3x to confirm) but I do feel like their IPA mouthfeel completely nails it.
