    The official poll is thousands of BA ratings says Zombie and god damn if its not correct. How do you start a poll on ipa/iipa/APA for comparison? ******ed.

    "Best by" was my highlight of the year, next to "DirtWolf" and "Celebration".

    For me it would be a toss up between Zombie Dust and Founders Harvest Ale.

    Zombie Dust wins this going away.
    Had a harvest tonight it's very good. Had my hands on an enjoy by and put it down at the store today. I bought a 6 pack of celebration instead.

    Zombie Dust has come out the winner in two different blind tastings with IPAs and DIPAs that I have been and I pick it this time as well.

    Our official results:

    1. Enjoy By 11.12.13
    1a.Zombie Dust
    3. Victory Dirt Wolf
    4. Founder's Harvest Ale
    5. Great Divide Fresh Hop

    Notes: Enjoy By is a hop lover's dream with great notes of grass and citrus. One of the great IPA's available. Zombie Dust is also stellar, and gets a 5 on Beer Advocate, but Enjoy By is slightly better by a razor thin margin.

    Fresh Hop was a major disappointment. As a hop lover, this beer was extremely weak on the hop profile.

    Dirt Wolf because it's the easiest to get.

    Best re-read the "official" results of your own poll. At this point Zombie Dust is the clear winner.

    I did not stick to the rules as that has to be the strangest hodge podge of random hoppy beers I have seen in a while.

    The poll is for YOUR feedback. Two of us drank these last night, and the "official" results are OUR results.

    Ah, I didn't see any post where you announced there was going to be a tasting.

    Edit: and BTW I don't find the poll any more informative that simply looking at the ratings since those are done by many more people rather than a simple subset of people who happen to be online during the lifespan of your poll.

    So two people do a taste test and ignore the poll with 53 responses. I detect FoxNews notes in this poll.
