    Narrowing down the audience a bit to western Mass/Ct. but I was curious if anyone here who frequents Table and Vine in West Springfield can recommend an IPA/DIPA to get that is generally available in the store that really exemplifies a Citrusy/Fruity Hop Forward beer.

    Suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

    Lagunitas Sucks should be available and is a great beer, very fresh right now.

    Just went there yesterday and there wasn't any in yet. They said "expected soon".

    Based on your criteria and that list, I'd go with whatever's freshest out of Founders Centennial, Lagunitas IPA, or Wormtown Be Hoppy.

    Ahhh, gotcha - in addition to @pjl44's suggestions, Sculpin or Flower Power or maybe even FW Union Jack are good options.

    Saw and grabbed a bottle of union jack to read the label while I was perusing an aisle and meant to go back and pick it up, but forgot about it. Will add that to my list, thank you.

    Also great suggestions. The bottling date should really be your deciding factor amongst these options. I've found them all to be very citrusy when fresh and straight grain juice when they're not.

    Jacks Abby Kiwi Rising. IPL (not an IPA) but could this be added to the list as well?
