    More than five here, but off the top of my head that stick out (besides Heady/Pliny):

    Kern River Citra
    HF Abner
    Lawson's Double Sunshine
    HF Double Galaxy
    HF Double Citra
    HF S&S #4
    NE Coriolis
    Fiddlehead Mastermind
    Victory Hop Ranch

    Locally, Tired Hands makes plenty of draft offerings that would fall into this category too. Perhaps too many to list.

    I don't drink as many DIPAs as I used to. These are the ones at the top of my ratings.

    I really like to drink those whenever I can get them :slight_smile:

    Don't tell anyone, but I did have to check 1 or 2 to ensure they fit the ABV range. Shhh.

    I saw Double Jack up above, but this site has it listed at 9.50. If the site's listing is inaccurate, it definitely makes it to the top of my list.

    Evil Twin Molotov Lite - 8.5%
    ST Unearthly - 9.5%
    Fat Head's Hop JuJu - 8.7%
    Victory Dirt Wolf - 8.7%
