    Bought a six pack of Chainbreaker a few weeks ago. Enjoyed the mix of flavors. Saw an Anchorage Galaxy this morning but unfortunately passed as I still have some of the Chainbreakers left (I just that's one way to justify it lol)

    Blue Point White IPA is pretty great. Also LOVED Indiana Krunkles by Terrapin. Wish we would see that one return for good.

    IPAs (English, American, and Double) > Black IPAs > White IPAs, for me personally, though I enjoy examples in each category.

    I love them. White IPAs makes so much more sense than Black IPAs in my opinion. The Boulevard/Deschutes Collaboration #2 was amazing. Best I have had.

    To be honest, i never tried one that I know of. They sound like hoppy Wits! I should give them a shot. Sure would like to get my hands on the Anchorage offering, hint hint.

    I've really enjoyed El Segundo's White Dog IPA over the past couple years...I don't usually opt for IPAs when there is a maltier option on the draft list, but this one is perfect afternoon drinking.

    Conflux #2 (that confuses the shit out of me because it came out a year ahead of Conflux #1) was delicious, and Lynchpin wasn't bad.

    I kinda hope that white IPAs will be trendy this year...a la Black IPAs and berliners over the past year or two.

    I have had the Saranac White, on tap no less. It's actually quite tasty, and (I think) one of my first experiences with white IPAs. I'm more a fan of their darker cousins, black IPAs- especially if they're a little rye-ish.

    Harpoon white ipa is very good. Hoppy with a nice orange spicyness. Worth a shot.

    Had a sample of Chainbreaker, it wasn't too bad. Any other version has just tasted like a shitty attempt to convert another beer style into an IPA by dumping a huge bittering charge into it.

    Chainbreaker is decent as well as Anchorage galaxy( though abit expensive).
    Chainbreaker will be perfect for poolside babe watching down the shore.

    I typical don't only because my Lupulin Threshold is in outer space and White IPAs don't usually have a large hop presence.

    Generally, no. I had two great ones yesterday at polar ends of the scale - Anchorage's Galaxy White IPA, and Hinterland's White Cap IPA.

    Sam Adams' Whitewater isn't bad too, and I've had a handful of others ... wait. Maybe I kinda do like White IPAs.

    Non-"white" Belgian IPAs are still the worst thing though.

    I don't usually like Blue Point's beers, but their White IPA is on point (see what I did there?)

    I didn't answer the poll because it's not that simple. The very good ones are uhh very good. Playing off the yeast spice, citrus peel and coriander with similar flavors in the hops. The bads ones .. yeah I'd rather have a Bud

    City Beverage has Anchorage Galaxy White IPA. I recommend it highly.
