Top 3 IPAs

OP being from Florida are you a Jai Alai IPA fan? I find it to be a sort of Heady Topper Jr., not that it's top 3 for me but definitely top 10.

 

Maine Beer - Dinner
Berryessa Double Tap
Treehouse - Julius

 

Haven't had many listed so I'll go with what I know...

1. Founders Centennial
2. Bell's Two Hearted Ale
3. Hop Ranch

 

since noone else has come forward with Tree House love yet, I'll say Julius and Green and the obligatory Heady. A list without Heady just seems like a non-starter. Julius and Green have been drinking really beautifully lately. So yeah, 3 is too few but I'll throw down Heady, Julius and Green. It's been a long time since I've had such exquisitely fresh beers as I've been grabbing in Monson the past few weeks.

edit: up until 5 minutes ago, noone kicked down with love for Tree House

 

Same here!

 

1. Heady Topper
2. Stone Enjoy-By
3. D'Chouffe IPA Tripel

 

OTWOA DC Brau

 

Duet
Enjoy By
Hopslam

 

Good to be silly, at least its positive. I love hearing top 3's. Tastes are subjective though and availability comes into play also. Maybe Heady, Pliny, Hopslam are better but here's the top 3 I've had. I'm excluding DIPA's since that's not the thread title.

1. Bells Two Hearted
2. Stone IPA
3. Oskar Blues Deviant Dale's (almost a double)

Honorable Mention:

SN Torpedo
21st Amendment Brew Free or Die
Sixpoint Bengali

 

1. La Cumbre Elevated
2. Heady
3. Pliny
4. La Cumbre Father Nelson
5. la Cumbre Project Dank

I like La Cumbre.

Enjoy by (if it was more available to me$

 

if this is a list your top 3 IPA's, then in order....

1. PtE (never had PtY)
2. Stone Enjoy By...
3. Knee Deep Hopoholic / Sucks / DFH 90 tie

 

I would go:

PtE, Hop Ranch, Lone Pint Yellow Rose

HM: Heady, La Cumbre IPAs (all of them), Fresh Squeezed, and Sucks

 

Too hard to narrow down, especially if you're opening it up beyond just single IPAs.

Rough list:

Simtra from Knee Deep
Hop Ninja from Beachwood
and it's hard for me to narrow it down between Pliny or Blind Pig from Russian River. Both are solid but comparing the two is hard.

Heady is definitely in my top five IPAs... (Resin from Sixpoint may be in there as well)

 

Smokes Ricky, let's go

 

Never tried Pliny.
I would agree with Heady Topper. Also
Cigar City Hopped on the High Seas- Citra
Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA
