    I really enjoy Hop Therapy from Rough Draft. The ratings for it are all over the place (if that means anything to you), but I've really enjoyed it both on tap and from the bottle.

    From their website:

    June 2013 – Our Brewmaster aka The Hoptologist is releasing another 3xIPA at the Truckee Optimist Brewfest in Truckee, CA on June 8th. This one is focused on the hop varietal Amarillo and clocks in at 11% + ABV with exploding tropical, floral and citrus notes. If your a fan of our Simtra or Hop Shortage 3xIPA’s you’ll love this one. Will be available on draft only during the month of July. Bottles to follow in August/September.

    Thanks. Hopefully I see it on draft, because I'd cringe paying $10 for a bomber, even though it sounds fantastic.

    I have to agree with one of the previous posts: Marin white knuckle is awesome. My favorite DIPA. Also tap it ipa is up there and beechwood of course. One more: highwater retribution

    Greatly disappointed in the bottle offerings, however I had it on draft while in SLO and was very impressed. Two different beers.

    Thanks for the advice. I have a Pure Hoppiness in front of me, Duet in the fridge, and Nelson coming. The Pure Hoppiness is ridiculous! I have absolutely no interest in malty East Coast IPAs, but this Alpine in front of me now is the first I've ever had that has the balance of sweet malt flavor with the citrus of a classic CA IPA.

    This one is almost enough for me to book the next family vacation to San Diego!

    I think every single thing has been mentioned already...besides Kern 5th Anniversary dba Kern Winter Ale. I like it better than Citra and JO personally.
