    way outside the normal IPA style that I like, but I really enjoy this beer for some reason

    Sixpoint Global Warmer if you can get it fresh. Imperial Red, but with lots of hops when fresh.

    Monkeynaut from Straight to Ale is the most malt forward IPA I've ever had and it comes in cans!

    Uinta Brewing Detour Double IPA with a year of age on it. I picked up a 750ml at my local store for dirt cheap ($8.50 I think) and it was already over a year in the bottle. I have not tried it fresh bit it was nothing like what a double IPA should be like in terms of hops. I really enjoied the beer and I bought another bottle to cellar and see what happens next. IPAs should NOT be cellared because the hops fade quickly but in this case since it is already a year old I might as well see what happens. Lets call it an American Strong Ale now instead of a DIPA. Long story short, go for Uinta Detour Double IPA.

    I'm scratching my head at this one. Hop JuJu, Chillwave, and RuinTen are not malt forward. JuJu and RuinTen are total hop bombs.

    90 Minute is a good pick though.
