    I've noticed some IPA names market their beer to sound super bitter. So not necessarily which IPA tastes the bitterest but which IPA names sounds the strongest to you?

    For me it's Green Flash Palate Wrecker, sounds like an unpleasant bitter bomb

    These were the first two that came to my mind as well. I got a Deep Ellem Dream Crusher DIPA and was intrigued to try it as quick as possible. Who needs dreams.

    When i first started getting into craft beer, i came across some of these names and it gave me a good chuckle. "Palate Wrecker" definitely stood out the most and was the first I tried, but 1000 IBU was also up there.

    Came here to mention two, and this is one of them. Curious, what'd you think of it?

    The other one's name is quite awesome: Dankosaurus, brewed by Cedar Creek.

    I'm a bit tired of names like these, but I'm much more tired of their commercial descriptions: "We pack an OBSCENE amount of hops into this massive hop MONSTER." Brewers, give it a rest.
