    I can't choose one, its too hard. But from what I've tried its one of these.
    Bells Hopslam, Bells Two Hearted, Three Floyds Zombie Dust or Lagunitas Sucks.

    Sucks, White Oak Jai Alai, Pallet Wrecker, Arrogant Bastard, etc..

    So many good IPA's and all for different reasons. Just serve them up fresh.

    Recently tried my first PtE and was blown away. I love Hopslam, but I wouldn't let that deter you - they're quite different.

    There are more IPAs made in America than cars. Just pick one that suits your palette and budget.

    Single: Torpedo (Too many to list really, but Torpedo embodies everything an IPA should be, IMHO).
    Double: Enjoy By
    Triple: Pliny the Younger

    As of late, my favorite IPA has been NEBCO Supernaut. 5.6%, fantastic hop profile balancing citrus and pine and a good body to it. Can drink this all day!

    But this is the thread that should stay and if others they should be merged here. I like seeing it pop up often because I like to read about the various IPAs, especially the small brewery ones that I have not had a chance to try.

    I'm not sure I could pick just one IPA as my favorite, but no doubt Furious, Head Hunter and Flower Power all are up there in terms of IPA, and Pliny is still king for me in terms of DIPA.

    I know they get the craziest reviews, but Ranger and Accumulation from New Belgium (IPA and WIPA respectively). The kind of IPA's that wont break the bank or the palette.

    Straight up IPAs are either NEBCO Fuzzy Baby Ducks or Tree House Julius.
    DIPA would be Lawson's Double Sunshine or NEBCO Gandhi Bot.
