    Abrasive, Heady, Pliny, ZD, Permanent Funeral, Lagunitas Sucks, CCB Humidor IPA, any of the HF hoppy brews (tried Abner, S&S #6, and Double Galaxy, each was quite impressive)

    No hoppy beer I have ever had compares to exponential hoppiness in hop flavors, that beer is ridiculous.

    No way I can pick one. Heady Topper, Gandhi Bot, Abner, Abrasive, Pliny, KR Citra, Enjoy By, Zombie Dest, Finest Kind, Two Hearted .....the list goes on and on. And to think when I started out in craft I despised hoppy beers. Silly palate.

    Citra Ninja is there with HT. Also Simcoe and Cascade Ninja. Enjoy By, Panzer Wolf, and Pliny are knockouts too. I would say Hopslam, but was very disappointed this year.

    HT/Abrasive/Zombie Dust/ Double Daisy Cutter/Flower Power/Pliny/Blind Pig/ Kern Citra/Susan/Head Hunter/Columbus - These off the top are what I would consider world class, after that Modus/Two Hearted/Caldera etc..

    I'm not that in love with Zombie Dust. Pliny would be my favorite. Alchemy Hour and SUCKS this year come pretty close. Alpine Duet. I've only sampled Citra Ninja and Head High and want more.

    Oh looky, another thread that lists all the top rated IPAs and DIPAs. I never thought I'd see this happen again.

    Pliny and anything from Stone are my staples, but recently have really been enjoying everything I have had from Knee Deep. Bare Knuckle DIPA and SIMTRA IIIPA have really impressed me. Anyone else find these brews magical?
