    I have found that my favorite IPAs are those with a citrus forward hop aroma/flavor. My top 3 IPAs are Jai Alai, Sculpin, and Heady Topper. What are some of your favorite Citrus heavy IPAs/DIPAs?

    HFS Double Galaxy, HT, & Lawson's Double Sunshine. IMO Jai Alai does not belong.

    I taste a lot of citrus in WCIPA and Sculpin and a good bit in centennial.

    Had the pleasure of experiencing Odd Side's Citra Pale Ale. It was one of the most wonderfully grapefruity beers I've ever had.

    The problem with these types of threads is that everyone's palate is different. What you're going to find here is a list of everyone's favorite IPA. Some you'll agree with, and some you won't. The best way to determine the most citrusy IPA for you is to try as many as possible. Inevitably your opinion will differ from others.

    True I guess I'm just looking for suggestions to weed out IPAs that have more of that piney or floral note. I enjoy all IPAs just been into the more citrus grapefruit note as of late

    I've only tried it once when they were hiding samples in their 12 packs but I recall Saranac Legacy IPA being very much on the citrus side... they're supposed to be shipping 4 pack of 16oz cans so I'm watching for it so I can try it again just to make sure!

    Schlafly Tasmanian. It's almost ridiculous.
    The "T" in TIPA should stand for Tropicana.
