    I guess Heineken no longer imports this one?

    Mmm I was going to say that one too, just had it the other day. Truly tastes like you're chewing on hops. Never experienced one quite like that before.

    Hop Stoopid
    Hog Heaven by Avery, which is actually a dry hopped barleywine, but has a super dank hop profile.

    You know the last DD I had was 2011 and your description sounds a lot like my review. I for one realllly enjoyed it :grinning:. Shame if they changed up the recipe that much. Different crops used perhaps.

    Dark horse smells like weed ipa. Only on tap but when I saw "dank" in the post I had to throw it out there.

    An interesting list of hops which potentially could provide dank flavors. The caveat of “depending on how they are used” is appropriate but another caveat should be: highly dependent on personal palates.

    I have homebrewed all Simcoe and all Citra hopped beers but my personal palate does not ‘register’ dank. The Simcoe tastes piney to me and the Citra is tropical fruits to me. Others have drank my all Citra hopped IPA and made comments of Cat Pee.

    I have had beers that utilize Columbus hops and those beers have dank flavors to my palate.

    Nelson Sauvin has a weird white wine flavors that I don’t like if too much is used (e.g., Sixpoints Spice of Life – Nelson Sauvin IPA).

    I have never noticed dank with Chinook but I will continue to look for it.

    I am not sure what to say about Apollo and Summit.

    Cheers!

    Three Floyds Zombie Dust for sure. Also, I think Lagunitas Sucks is also plenty dank.

    I've never experienced dank with citra hopped brews.

    Ska Brewings modus hoperandi is about the dankest IPA I have had. It tastes like alaska thunderfuck smells...

    I've had Hoptimum, Palate Wrecker, Hopscutioner, and Torpedo...never heard them referred to 'Dank' however. What makes a beer have that title? Is it more than just the smell?

    It's mostly the smell and it can taste dank too.

    Stone brewery: enjoy by 4-20-2013. Smells like dank and tastes like sourdeisel. The name might have an influence on the perceived taste, yet this batch has that profile to me.

    I was thinking smell/ taste, I agree with you on Hopsecutioner ,Torpedo and Palate Wrecker, but fresh Hoptimum has that smell and taste imo.

    You guys must be getting bad dank. Most of the beers mentioned that I've sampled aren't even close to dank. Hoptimum? Dank? Not so much.

    A good quality gueuze will have a far better dank character than any IPA. Seek out some 3F or Cantillon stat.
