Most Aggressive IPAs

The original Ruination merits a mention, I suppose, but I'd hardly call it one dimensional. That's what made it so great. There was an uncompromising resiny bitterness to it, yes, but other facets as well from the malt, hops, and probably yeast- pine, citrus, stone fruit- lean and muscular. God, that was a great beer, sigh...

 

Tired Hands Hop Hands, it's a handful of extremely bitter.

 

+1

First beer that came to my mind. Very well stated!

 

Troegs Nimble Giant

 

Revolutions 1ENUFF. L

 

Palate Wrecker was always a favorite for me when it came to frying my palate.

Good call on Hopsickle too. I haven't had that beer for years, I need to track one down. I assume it's still produced?

 

Fat Heads Hop JuJu . . . First release ate the enamel off of my teeth.

 

Palate Wrecker
Green Bullet
Ruination
Pure Hoppiness
Knee Deep Hop Trio

I’ve never found Fat Heads IPAs to be super insanely bitter, just extremely extremely flavorful with the perfect amount of bite

*also have heard Alpine HFS is pretty wild

 

Double Dry Hopped Ruination.

 

I'll have to go with Palate Wrecker. The first time I had this, I could still taste the resin 45 minutes later.

 

I don't think either of these are "one sided" but I'd have to go with Hop Stoopid and Gubna.

 

Not one dimensional but 120 minute ipa and dark horse double crooked tree are ass kickers

 

Arrogant Bastard deserves a mention I think.

 

Based on the title of the thread I was going to say Crusher and Headroom, but after reading the original post I don't think they are what you are looking for.

They are super in your face hop bombs, but not one dimensional (bitter). I wouldn't want to have either before opening up a brew I want a fresh palate for.

Seems like Crusher went down 1% ABV and settled down a bit recently, but it was a kick in the palate before, not sure about still.

 

Maybe 1 of the +3000 IPAs in the database that have zero ratings would make the list.
