    Wow, self'd. Thanks for pointing out my ignorance.

    Amarillo is the primary hop in All Day IPA, and the citrus-like profile is what I enjoy the most from that beer.

    I have enjoyed beer with Mosaic and some single hopped beer with Citra, like Zombie Dust and Pseudo Sue, so its hard to tell. It may have been the high level of bitterness in the Stone Go-To that turned me off, as well as oniony tastes on the finish (same reason I don't drink Enjoy By). New Belgium Slow Ride is fairly similar, IMO.

    Second Two Roads "lil heaven". And wish Stone would can "Go to" 12 packs of cans are a better price point.

    Red Racer India Session Ale is my favourite so far, although I've only had one other. It wasn't as flavourful as their regular IPA but I still enjoyed it. Lots of fruity notes and extremely forgiving at 4.00%ABV if you decide to have a few.

    Best one is the All Day IPA by Founders! Great beer! This is a great session beer. I just like the fact that it taste like a high percentage beer but really it's a low percentage beer. One of the best selling beers on the the market these days for sure. Easy to crush all damn day!!

    Stone Go To is by far the tastiest SIPA I've tried but it is also one of the most expensive ($10-11/sixer) and is not available in cans so I doubt I'll ever buy it. The only times I really want a SIPA is when I'm at the beach/pool/outdoors and it's hot, I much prefer cans in those situations. That being said my number one choice is Founders All Day, 15 pack of cans for like $15-16 is hard to beat.

    Stone Go To is my favorite, but I buy lots of All Day because of the 15 pack of cans for $16. My house goes through lots of 15 packs in the summer.

    It starts and ends with Founders All Day IPA. Only session IPA I enjoy (but I do really enjoy it)
