    Based on the list presented & only having had Fatheads & Troegs...Headhunter despite the fact I purchase more Nugget Nectar. I too view Nugget Nectar more as an Imperial Red than an IPA & Headhunter would be a tragic loss if production stopped, very solid IPA, though my favorite IPA is Two Hearted.

    I picked FP because I've wanted to try it forever.

    Yes, but I was referring to your reply to BurgeoningBrewhead who lives in PA.

    I'd probably try something I hadn't had on the list. The ones I have had Flower Power drinking one now and the beer stores around me always have it now it is a treat since it use to be hard to find. Troeggs dam good too, Surly had and Abrasive a Wet sounds good if I could buy it local I would, Union jack is good too. So either CCB or Fat Head. I'd probably try a CCB

    Doesn't have the same ABV as the rest of the beers in the poll

    Just going off average prices:

    Head Hunter = $9.99 - $10.99 4pk 12 oz = .21 - .23 per oz
    Wet = $16.99 - $17.99 4 pk 16 oz = .27 - .28 per oz

    For what Wet is; fresh wet hopped and amazing (IMO) - I would argue that is not way over priced.

    Just my .02

    On topic; I would choose Wet.
    But if the question factors in availability - I would chose Head Hunter.

    BTW...Only half as much Wet is being brewed this year, compared to last.
    So if it was hard for you to get it last year....well, good luck Charlie!

    Let the Wet pre-trading begin...:sunglasses:

    - I'm failing with you brutha, as I've only had (out of the ipa's listed) Union Jack myself - but I gave her a 4.45, it is a Fantastic IPA, so it get's my vote.

    Headhunter hands down is one of the best if not the best (single) IPA out there. If you haven't tried it, trade for it its crazy good fresh!

    Pretty good poll.. I can't decide between HH and JA.
    FP's worthy enough..
    Never tried Wet
    UJ is not worthy.. I'd replace it with Two Hearted

    this is like the worst question ever, because most people havent had all of these beers, so you can never really get a real answer.

    Flower Power, but right behind it is Union Jack. Wish Ithica would come to NH. I really would like to do a side by side these two.

    Would have been interesting to see how a brew like Furious would have held up in the poll. It's one of my favorite IPA's and I have a list about 4-5 deep that are simply outstanding and they're kinda different.
