    Let's go, list your favs...

    Right now I'm on Sixpoint Resin and Victory Dirt Wolf taking control away from 90 minute (awesome on draught) and Double Simcoe...what are your thoughts?

    Oh ya, like many I don't have access to HT or HF so try to disclude those...

    Jai Alai, OTWOA, I guess Heady Topper is okay, 90 minute.

    Aside from the stuff in VT, super fresh 2XIPA is incredibly good!

    Double ipas? Dirt wolf is darn good. Flying dog has been making several really good high abv ipas in the last couple years. The Truth and Simcoe single hop are great.

    DFH 90 was my first high abv brew. I'll have to come back to it now that my palate is probably more developed because I didn't see what all the hype was about.

    Huh, heady is "ok"

    If you can't drink up here in vt, I dig victory.
    Resin is "ok"- I am no pro but somewhere in the late mouth it flies off into weird directions. Just my opinion.
    Love 90min personally.
    Haven't had double simcoe.
    Maybe not a DIPA, but man track down some longtrail Limbo.

    Cheers!

    Boy King from COAST is heavenly! I haven't had HT yet, but I think this beer could give it a challenge.

    Nothing you listed is bad; Resin and DirtWolf are fantastic, especially if you take into account availability. 90 minute is pretty awesome, though, no doubt.

    Heady: yeah, it's just freaking awesome, and I'll leave it at that.

    Southern Tier 2X IPA is a great brew, and very affordable. Worth trying right along Resin and DirtWolf, IMO.

    Gandhi Bot is great, but really difficult to get. Consider some other incredible or at least solid single IPAs: Jai Alai, Lunch, Sea Hag (NEBCo), Long Trail Limbo.

    Cheers!
