    That's why I didn't buy that glass, as much as I really love the design.

    I'll be the first to say Flower Power, and that one is definitely up there with me. Pliny the Elder and Head Hunter are also in the running.

    Why are people posting things like Heady, Pliny, Enjoy By, etc? The OP said IPA, not DIPA/IIPA.

    There are so many great IPA's I don't even think that this should be a question anymore haha. Not trying to put this post down but all the answers are usually the same see above ^ IPA's are just a great style but there are to many coming out to pick a best!

    Haven't had the Sea Hag but love the Elevated.

    Now with that being said I really enjoy Maximus, Jai Alai and Sculpin. Readily available and great tasting with I had some more Elevated that one I really enjoyed.

    I like Hop Devil because it has a pretty decent malt backbone. Im not a huge ipa fan so if I do have one I want one where it has nice caramel tones and isnt all just grapefruit piney bitterness.

    For single IPAs it would be a tie of: Firestone Walker Union Jack, Bell’s Two Hearted & Ithaca Flower Power.

    For just a category of hoppy beer: Heady Topper.

    Cheers!

    Societe The Pupil and Rip Current's High Tide. If I ever get more Alpine, those would probably still make the list.
