    My Top 5:
    Zeelander (amazing)
    Masala Mama (excellent)
    DFH 60 Minutes (terrific on tap and fresh bottled)
    Blind Pig (only had it once, if only it were available on the east coast)
    Castaway IPA (have had on tap and bottled, very under rated)

    What do you guys prefer?

    Define 6%: Does that cover the entire 6-6.9% range? Blind Pig is 6.10%.

    Thanks.

    Blind Pig is definitely pushing it. Haha. Yes, 6% and under, Not 6-6.9%. Blind Pig was listed at 6% at the brewery where I had it. So I guess we can officially eliminate BP. But darn it, it was so good!

    Two Hearted is 7%
    SNPA is a pale ale

    Isn't Two Hearted 7%? And SNPA does not qualify as a IPA.

    If you're talking from 6-6.9% I have at least two.

    Hop Devil - 6.8 %
    Fresh Squeezed - 6.4%

    I haven't met a "session" IPA I've liked yet. They're just too bitter, not enough malt backbone to balance the hops. If I'm going to go 6% or under I'll go with a lager or a pale ale.

    Anchor Liberty Ale for 'under'.

    For a touch over NEBCo Sea Hag at 6.2%

    For me, most IPAs would start at about 7%+. I think the only 6% IPA I had was Kona Brewing's Castaway IPA, and I didn't really like it at all.

    I dont pay attention to the abv on IPA's. Doesnt matter to me. I do enjoy the session ipas. I only pay attention to the abv if its a DIPA.

    Then I would have to say Burley Oak's Afternoon Delight. 2.9% of hoppy goodness.
