    Literally, the single hoppiest beer I've had to date. Felt like the alpha acids were stripping the enamel off my teeth. I could taste hops for several hours after drinking it.

    Palate Wrecker. But you won't be able to taste anything else after you drink it.

    Judging by the avi of the thread-reviver, weed may have been involved. :grinning:

    I've had Hopsickle and Mongo side by side on tap and Mongo is a bigger brew than Hopsickle, fresh Mongo is really very good, I don't think anything would follow a pint of Mongo.

    La Cumbre Project Dank is listed at "A Lot" for IBUs, so I suspect it's way above 100. It used to be quite the bitter bomb, but I feel they've really smoothed it out and found a good balance, so those wanting a hop explosion may have missed the train as far as Dank.

    Ninkasi Tricerahops 100 IBUs, Napa Smith Hopageddon 144IBUs. Also, that new Stone Stochasticity Project Grapefruit Slam is really bitter. The IBUs aren't very high, but it's sure up there in bitterness.

    Second the Ninkasi Tricerihops, that's one hoppy motha, and extremely bitter to my taste.

    Agree with the Moylans mentions. Anything from HF is going to be incredibly hoppy, but most of them have a characteristic mouthfeel which isn't as overtly oily. Stone RuinTen, Enjoy By, Goose Island The Illionois are slightly more available options for resinous hop bombs.

    I would also agree with Heady recommendations. I still find it to be the best pure hop flavor out of any beer I have had. It's not quite the same oiliness as fresh Hopsickle, but its obscenely hoppy.

    What about Dirtwolf? Totally a palette destroyer.
