Best IPA/DIPA you have had.

That reminds me, I think my list forgot Red's Rye. One of my favorite year-round beers that I always grab when it comes in. Shame lack of sales + cost of production led to a pretty big cost increase..

 

In Order:
1.) Heady Topper
2.) Pliny the Elder
3.) Stone Enjoy By (any of them)
4.) Double Dose IPA
5.) Gandhi Bot / Flower Power

 

Rip Current has the hat trick for me with their last three. They just keep getting better!

 

Heady Topper times five.

 

Heady
Pliney
Sculpin
Hop Notch(in cans)
Any IPA/DIPA from HF

 

Now I'm really thirsty...

It's funny, I've tried most of the highest rated IPA's and DIPA's out there and love many of them. In terms of ratings, KR Citra and Abner are pretty much tied for first. However, right now, I'm going to say that Founders All Day is my favorite. I'm still tickled pink that I can get that awesome hop fix (better than most of the DIPA's out there), with only 4 1/2 % abv. And, you can find it just about anywhere. Call me crazy, but that's what I'm thinking these days...

 

1. Lagunitas Sucks
2. Surly Abrasive
3. Stone Enjoy By 9/13/13
4. New Glarus Thumbprint IIPA
5. Pliny the Elder

 

Going by my review history on here...

1. Sierra Nevada - Estate Homegrown Wet Hop Ale
2. Firestone - Union Jack
3. Sierra Nevada - Torpedo
4. Sierra Nevada - Northern Hemisphere Harvest Wet Hop Ale
5. Strand - Atticus

And yes, I have had Heady Topper, Blind Pig and Pliny the Elder.

Sorry for the weird colored font...

Pliny the Elder

Green Flash Green Bullet
HopSlam
DogFish Head 60, 90, 120, etc. etc.
the Mikeller IPAs
Sierra Nevada Torpedo and Celebration for everyday IPAs
Sierra Hoptimonium

I could continue, it depends on what's new and what's the most super fresh hop thing out there

 

Ouch a tough thread but I'll give it a go:

Alchemist Heady Topper
Stone Enjoy By
CCB Jai Alai
La Cumbre Elevated
Either Sucks or Surly Furious

 

Wow....I think I saw one post mention Celebration, and not too much love for Torpedo either...oh well

I guess I could just copy/paste the top 5 on this site

 

There are at least 15 that I would be happy to enjoy at any time, but if pressed to pick one that I still think about and remember the occasion , it would be HF Galaxy, hands down.

 

Ok

Heady Topper
Tree House Julius
HF Society and Solitude 4
HF Abner
Maine Another One

 

One of the best IPA I've ever had was a collaboration brew by Half Acre and Three Floyds called Annica. I tried it on first day of release at the tap room. I thought it was great, despite being somewhat similar to Space.

 

Enjoy By
Sucks
Hoptimum
Hopslam
RuinTen
90Min

I think I'll be getting some Surly soon through a Minnesota friend.

HT and PtE are on the list, hopefully I'll try them before I die

 

Knee Deep Simtra (3x) if 3X is a no no, then their Hoptologist is devine.
Sierra Nevada Hoptimum
Laguinitas IPA or Sucks (smell it!)
Sierra Torpedo
Russian R Pliny(just to go with the flow)

 

ipa - schlafly tasmanian ipa
iipa - lagunitas sucks

 

Can't pick one.

I had the first pint from a fresh keg of Pliny the Elder. Hard to say I've had better.

Sculpin draft from fresh keg at the brewery in San Diego.

 

In order, the top IPAs I've had worth mentioning:

Heady Topper
HF Double Citra
Enjoy By
Pliny
Duet
Abrasive
Golden Nugget
Gandhi-Bot
Masala Mama
Elevated
Sculpin

Others I've had that didn't blow me away: Alpine's Expo & Nelson, Head Hunter, Jai Alai
