What's your favorite IPA?

04-29-2009, 01:40 PM

IMO, can't go wrong with any IPA. I tried one a few weeks ago when I was home from R&R that was memorable though, I want to say it was called Alaskan IPA? Don't really remember though since it wasn't my first beer of the night

Triple IPA - Pliny the Elder - out of the Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa, California - awesome stuff

Dogfish 60 minute IPA. Now I'm thirsty. Thanks.

I am really liking the Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA.

Smuttynose IPA

My highest rated IPA on ratebeer is Bell's Two Hearted followed closely by Stone IPA and Troegs Nugget Nectar. I rated Three Floyds Dreadnaught a bit higher but that is a DIPA. Of those 4, I'd definitely grab a Troegs right now though.

My Favorites are Ninkasi Tricerahops, Full Sail IPA, Caldera IPA, Hair of the Dog IPA, Lazyboy IPA(i think is the name)... I could go on for days

So many IPA and DIPAs to drink. I love some Maharajah from Avery, but I wish they bottled it in a 12oz bottle.

Alpine Pure Hoppiness.

on #1 & #2, I've never had a Troegs, so I'll be looking out for that.

I'd fill out the list with Victory Hop Devil and (in the DIPA category) a new entrant: SN Torpedo. Tupper's Hop Pocket Ale used to be my #1, but they changed the recipe a few years ago and the brewmaster from Old Dominion Brewery moved up to Victory, iirc. So now it's just "eh."

I've been drinking a lot of Racer 5 recently. Very good balance between hops & malt.

GarlicBreath · 04-30-2009, 06:49 AM

Victory

I've been impressed with Victory Hop Devil; recommended. Dogfish needs know introduction, but I find them to be a "little much" to drink more than one. Not price-wise, just too filling.

Scottw · 04-30-2009, 07:37 AM

I agree with Victory and also love the 90 minute IPA.

Someone sent this to me the other day, looks like Hop Pocket's making a comeback!

Never had this beer before, but I hear that Anderson Valley has a stellar IPA called hop ottin.
