    Victory Hop Wallop and Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA are my favorite cirtus forward IPAs right now.

    I agree with Heady being citrus-forward, but more after it's 2 weeks or so old, and especially if drunk from a glass. Hill Farmstead- Abner for DIPA and Harlan for IPA, both very grapefruity. Good luck finding them outside VT though. Dirtwolf has a great floral/citrus balance. Flower Power and Creeker- yes, both have an amazing nose, but it's a promise that's only delivered by half upon tasting IMO. I would also add Otter Creek/Lawson's Double Dose and Port Brewing Hop-15. Again, good luck on the DD, but Port Brewing's beers are fairly readily available in MA- not sure about PA.

    oops, excuse me... did i say something to you? oh sorry, wrong thread, or maybe even it was even the wrong website... i mean, i really didn't... i see you are super frosty and your icon looks like some goth kid's halloween costume for their pet "exotic cat name here". i'm mostly a wine guy.

    Really?

    I agree with Jai Alai. And if we get into DIPA's, Sucks and Dirt Wolf are definitely up there. While not really a full-fledged IPA, Founders All-Day is really grapefruity.

    Agree with your opinions OP -- would have to suggest fresh Westbrook IPA,Sweetwater IPA but the closest Ive found to scratching my heady itch in GA is Port Mongo DIPA

    Sweetwater is probably my favorite brewery. Just great stuff

    NEBCO Gandhi Bot, Founders Harvest. I tend to think of floral/citrus tastes similarly.

    The pine tree bomb ipa's don't agree with me.

    Totally agree with this, and it's available pretty much year round.

    Better buy lots of Hop Wallop if you find it, they are putting it on hiatus. 90 Minute has citrus to it, but I wouldn't call it citrusy.

    Regarding Heady Topper, I get a ton more tropical fruit flavors on it than citrus.

    For me, the citrus bombs are Finest Kind (pure grapefruit juice), 2 Hearted, Flower Power and Union Jack.

    Zombie Dust is citrus forward IMO but it is an APA.

    At first I didn't like the cloudy, murky appearance, but then I realized you're supposed to drink it straight from the bottle. I hope they start canning soon.

    Just had my first fresh Zombie Dust. Mindblowing. So much awesome citrus.Though I guess it's not totally an IPA. But still, it's pretty much in the same vein as some of the other one's mentioned here.
