    Surprised nobody said DFH 90min. So citrusy and refreshing

    All these beers taste like a bitter hoppy mess to me.

    If anyone says Heady Topper tastes like grapefruit juice once more time, I will slap them for insulting such a magnificent fruit.

    I'll second Columbus Brewing Company Bohdi (draft only). Theyre regular IPA is also a grapefruit treat which is bottled.

    Another vote for Heady Topper. Fresh, it can be like Five Alive.

    Odell Myrcenary is the first IPA/DIPA that comes to mind when someone mentions fruit.

    I'll second DFH 90 Minute, but I think the tops for me is Boneyard's Hop Venom DIPA.

    The Kind, fresh and draft, has a great grapefruit and mango opening. It pops with citrus.

    This beer is fantastic on draft.

    My vote would go to Double Sunshine or Lagunitas Sucks. DS has this massive mango-pineapple thing going on (like a more pungent Heady), and Sucks hit me with a big guava-juice note.

    I am far from a fan of IPA's but surprised out of all of these nobody mentioned Founders Double Trouble? I am no expert on the subject but this beer most definitely came across as an extremely bitter grapefruit to my palate.

    Fresh Columbus is unbeatable. Add in fresh White Rajah and Head Hunter, and you've got the trifecta of IPA's :slight_smile:

    If you can get Modus Hoperandi try it. Lots of grapefruit, orange peel, and some dank... mmmmmmm....

    DC Brau - On The Wings of Armageddon has some face-melting tropical fruit in there.
