Best IPA?

Ballast Point Sculpin. Kane Head High. Racer5 Perpetual
Mongo Flower Power

 

Hopnotch really good hoppyness and also Stone Ruination IPA

 

Actually I'd probably put two hearted, racer 5 and Pliny before resin and jai alai, and of course, fresh is best on all mentioned. And I have to say Hop Wallop as well.

 

Nelson. Honorable mention would go to The Pupil and Head Hunter (permanent want).

 

Best IPA Foothills Jade
Best DIPA Surly Abrasive; did a taste test side by side with Heady and liked Abrasive best.

 

And yet you took the time to read it and reply..not sure how any post like the ops makes the site sink to unacceptable levels...seriously....don't take things so seriously..not interested don't read or reply

 

PsycHOPathy and Zombie Dust.

 

Somebody likes Nelson Sauvin...

 

As of this morning - Three Notch'd 40 Mile IPA. But Sculpin, Jai Alai, DC Brau Corruption all impress.

 

probably furious. not really an ipa, tho

 

I'm right there with you

 

Jai Alai is the best one I've tried.

 

So I've recently had the pleasure of trying the top two rated IPA ' S. Heady Topper and Pliny the Younger within a day of each other. It's very difficult to compare a beer in a can to a fresh Pliny the Younger on tap. In your opinion what's the BEST IPA you've had so far?

Personally speaking Pliny the younger is the best IPA I've ever had, I can respect the hype behind Heady Topper but I feel we have a few beers on the West coast that are better in flavor.

 

Citra by pipeworks is my favorite and I've tried bunches.

 

I don't claim it's the best, I've got years of sampling to go, but my choice for balanced hoppy goodness is Hop Nosh =]

 

I can't say. I haven't tried them all

As it stands, Jai Alai is the best I've had the privilege to try thus far.

 

lawson's double sunshine. p.s. never had pliny the younger.

 

I'm getting to try Pliny the Elder tomorrow (very excited) but my favorite so far is Lagunitas Sucks. Then jai alai. I thought hopslam and sculpin were both pretty overrated.

 

Agreed. It doesn't get any better than fresh Jai Alai.

 

I had my fist Heady tonight and it was insane and off the chain! Deserves they hype. I will have my first Pliny this weekend when I share it and Nugget Nectar with my friends.

As for the best ipa, to many to choose from. So many breweries are knocking the ipas out of the park. It would be easy for me to say three floyds because I live in Indiana but, I have tried so many new ones over the years that I really can not pick one.
