    1. 3 Floyds/Half Acre - Anicca
    2. KRBC - Citra
    3. The Alchemist - Heady Topper
    4. Alpine - Nelson (Sad to say I've never had Keene)
    5. Lagunitas - Sucks

    Anicca is so damn good. Hard to admit that coming from SoCal!

    I was wondering when Alpine was gonna get some love! Totally agree with this list. BUT I'm still a Vermont / KRBC Citra virgin. I have to mention Maine Brewing's Lunch and Another One. Sentimental mention of NOLA's Hopitoulas and MechaHopzilla. Zombie Dust is ridiculously good.

    My favorite IPA is Alpine Nelson. DIPA would have to be Heady and Abrasive.

    This makes me sooooo happy. Please pass by all that Sucks on the shelf. You're so right, it's terrible. Tell all your friends not to buy any either. Kthnx.

    Is this sarcasm? Oracle and Hopslam are both top IIPA's...

    Sucks get great reviews and, in my opinion, is still underrated. It's a joy to drink any time, any place.

    I was actually not being sarcastic. I LOVED Oracle last year, so I quickly grabbed 2 6 packs of it this year and was very unimpressed... I'm sure it's just me and I'm fine with that. Anxious to see how Hopslam hits me this year though!
