    I'm reviving an old thread but... I had a few IPAs tonight and thought of this exact idea. Figured I'd search instead of doing another thread like this.

    But....I've had so many good IPAs. All with different tastes...piney...citrusey....etc..amazing how hop variations create such different tastes. Im curious to other's tastes now. Mine are (not accounting for differences of IPA/DIPA):

    -Witch's Hat Big Doedish (homer favorite)
    -Bells Two Hearted
    -Victory Dirtwolf

    Bit off the norm of other ratings but these are HUGE standouts for me. Love Pliny/Heady but these 3 draw me back everytime...

    Never tried Surly or Bells or many others but....

    My top IPAS that I have actually consumed lol;

    1. Mother F'n Heady Topper (yes it lives up to the hype, side by side it's fruit smashes pliny hands down)
    2. Alpine Nelson (so unique and the grapefruity/greasiness is amazing)
    3. Alpine Duet (right up there with nelson, with more balance and pine, less the nelson hops)
    4. Pliny/Blind Pig (speak for themselves, classics, true og ipa flavor)
    5. Tie between Sculpin for flavor and Swamis for flavor+value!
    6-10 in any order; Alpine Pure Hoppiness, Kern Just Outstanding IPA, Far Out IPA, Hop Nosh, Enjoy By.....

    I have Alpine beers to trade for fresh Topper if anyone is interested, HMU!

    Yes, I know they're all 3F. I'm not even that big of a 3F fan but those beers are unbeatable. 4th and 5th place go to Enjoy By and Dirt Wolf.

    Surly is amazing. Had one of my coworkers bring me back some from MN when we got off of leave. If it's in season, its supposedly not too hard to find so maybe just find someone in the area and see if there are any FL brews that dont get distro up that way. Maybe some Cigar City? Not sure what their distro looks like.
