What's your favorite IPA?
 
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 :al

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

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.

Tripp 04-29-2009 05:59 PM

Re: What's your favorite IPA?
 
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.

I forgot about Bell's Two-Hearted until you mentioned it....mmmmmm Two-Hearted:dr

:tpd: 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.

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

Re: What's your favorite IPA?
 
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.

Either Victory or Dogfish 60 minute. But I'll never turn anything down from Sierra Nevada.

Re: What's your favorite IPA?
 
My favorite......my own. There are 1001 reasons to homebrew, but you IPA lovers have an extra reason. The ability to dry-hop and bottle(or keg) and drink relatively fresh makes for an amazing IPA. I think this was the reason Pliny was not bottled until recently, had to be pretty fresh to maintain that huge fresh hop aroma and flavor. That, and the ability to put you favorite hops and hop combinations into your brew. I like making larger, later hop additions to get more of the flavor/aroma and less of the bitterness. And it's gotta be fairly dry, high final gravity IPA's :rolleyes:

My favorite combo: Amarillo and Simcoe, 30min/15min/Flame-out/DryHop. :wo

Hopbursting ... I like it.

Add CZT in there and you're gold.

Could not agree more. Aside from things like the Bill of Rights and being able to find a public space to smoke in, homebrewing is what I have missed the most since moving to London.

I know it's not an IPA, but I just had my first Mighty Arrow Pale Ale from New Belgium Brewery last night. It was incredible.

HawkEye19 04-30-2009 07:34 PM

Re: What's your favorite IPA?
 
I'm having one of the Sam Adams Longshot DIPAs (the Pliny clone). It's tasty, but I'd love to hear someone compare it to the real thing.

I just had a few Odell IPA. Its going in my Top 3 IPAs!

What about Miller Lite and its "Triple Hops", does that count? :lv

Re: What's your favorite IPA?
 
Brought home a growler of Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster, it's pretty tasty stuff. If I had to pick a favorite, would likely go with Bell's Two Hearted, also a big Stone Brewing fan.

Harpoon.

Love the Bell's Two-hearted. The Hopslam is also great when one can find it ... Hop-o-liscious

Bell's Two-Hearted, New Holland's Mad Hatter, and my own. :D

Not necessarily in that order.

Re: What's your favorite IPA?
 
I tasted a fabulous IPA last weekend called Bitter ***** IPA from the Wet Dog Brewing Company of Astoria, OR, but my favorite IPA's would have to be.... Total Dominiation IPA of Ninkasi (Eugene, OR) .... or Pliney the Elder of Russian River (Cali) or... maybe Blue Dot from Hair of the Dog (Portland, OR) or maybe the Blockhead Imperial IPA at Block 15 of Corvallis, OR.. or... or.... yea I could keep going :D

That Torpedo is some good stuff. Too bad it's next to impossible to find.

Re: What's your favorite IPA?
 
By far my favorite is Dogfish 90 minute with the 60 minute getting the consolation prize. I actually wasn't a fan of the 120 minute the two times I have tried it. I found it to be almost too fruity for my tastes. I will have to pick up some Harpoon IPA sometime based on this thread...seems to be well liked :al

$6.50/sixxer at Safeway. :wo

I'm split between Stone Brewery Ruination IPA and Sierra Nevada Torpedo. The torp is a lot easier to drink, and much cheaper

This IPA thread needs to not die.

I took a vacation up to Washington state a few weeks ago and was on a big IPA kick. I found one that may be one of my absolute favorite IPA's ever.

Scuttlebutt Gale Force IPA

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available outside Washington. Too bad as it was awesome.

Anyone tried Rogue's Yellow Snow IPA? I have not, but I love Amarillo hops, should be a good one.

I haven't but they make great stuff. Their Dead Guy Ale is great and I'm sure the IPA is as well...

My two favorite IPA's are seasonal's from Ale Asylum
Ballistic IPA and Satisfaction Jackson (double IPA).
