    Goose Island "Sophie" (One of my Fav's) has some light orange citrusy flavor...

    I also found Deviant Dales very citrus forward.

    No doubt it is an amazing IPA. Wish I could get it in WI.

    Fantasy Factory is a very nice offering from Karben4.

    I 100% agree with this, there's no citrus after a while, but when it's fresh, I taste orange, pineapple, maybe some lemon zest too... Tropical flavors are present as well.

    Peacetree's No Coast IPA. Quite replicative of grapefruit juice if you ask me.

    Not sure if anyone mentioned this already but I was very pleasantly surprised with Westbrook's Citrus Ninja Exchange...it was a grapefruit explosion, if you're into that sort of thing

    Nugget Nectar immediately comes to mind for me. I definitely have to say that it took me a little while to come around to IPAs as a whole, I know Nugget isn't technically an IPA, however my preference style wise is the citrusy type and no matter the style drinkablility is king.

    I love citrus forward IPAs. I think Sculpin and Ruination are my favs, with Pliny thrown in there as well.

    Sorry to come up with one so limited in distribution but Boston's Trillium Congress Street IPA is world class. I had a growler, they don't bottle. Wonder how they would compare if comparing bottles.

    Schlafly Tasmanian IPA and Baltimore Beer Works Tell Tale Hearty Ale. Probably won't find the BBW outside of MD (yet) but it's a total citrus bomb IMO

    Also, Otter Creek Kind Rye'd. Got lots of bitter orange and grapefruit on that one.

    Jai Alai for sure for me, also Sculpin and definitely (fresh) ruination has tons of grapefruit and citrus flavor IMO

    Its technically a pale wheat ale, but Lagunitas Sumpin Sumpin is super grapefruit forward.
