    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.
