    Yeah I agree, but it is weird - I think of Zombie Dust as an IPA - I mean, there is nothing about it that isn't an IPA except the label calling it a pale ale!

    Ratings show otherwise, but I prefer Indeed's APA - Day Tripper over their IPA - Let it Ride.

    Samuel Adams Boston Ale is better than Lattitude IPA. I haven't had Rebel yet, but the numbers seem to bear this out as well.

    Man, after having Grunion I might have to say Grunion > Sculpin and Big Eye. I was also thinking Hoppy Birthday, but really everything from Alpine is amazing.

    Followup question: is there a farmer who grows apples that are better than his oranges?

    Disagree, torpedo blows that pale ale away. Too dry but I respect your tastebuds.

    Great question. Its almost like a paradox. I almost agree with the SN answers, but wow, I am stumped.

    Agree. The Fort Point is great, better than Congress St. Waiting to crack Melcher St IPA.

    Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale > Any IPA they brew.

    Their Double IPA's are a different story....

    Along the same lines with what people are saying about FFF and ZD, Psuedo Sue is the best hoppy beer I have had from TG
