    Dogfish Head 90 Minute - good lord this beer is underrated
    Dogfish Head Burton Baton - love the barrel aging
    Bootlegger's KnuckleSandwich - good luck finding it unless you are in Cali. Excellent DIPA with a fantastic malt backbone
    Firestone Walked Double Jack - effing solid

    Since most DIPAs (most of the really good ones, at least) are 9+%, I think the question should be phrased the other way. What DIPAs rank among your top picks for the style even though they clock in UNDER 9%?

    For me, the top three is easy:
    Racer X
    Dirt Wolf
    Yule Smith Summer

    Flying Dog's Single Hop Series. Their YR DIPA, The Truth, is only 8.7% though. So, close!

    A few I really enjoy...

    Double Jack
    DirtWolf
    Myrcenary
    90 Minute
    120 Minute
    Super Doozy

    I like many more...Sucks is probably my favorite but it isn't 8%...

    EDIT- Misread OP, thought the ABV mentioned was 8%...time to knock off the webs :wink:

    Close to and over 9 %, Abrasive, Hop JuJu, Dinner, Neshaminy Creek The Shape of Hops to Come, HF Ephraim is a big beer, Unearthly only if its fresh, Scream, a few years ago I would have put Hopslam near the top of my list, but not now, it's ok though.
