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

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.

I have enjoyed the DFH stuff in the past but ST makes some extreme beers.

Definitely in my top 5, probably top 3. I only wish I could get it locally.

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.

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

Not necessarily in that order.

BeerAdvocate · 04-30-2009, 05:51 AM

Troegs Nugget Nectar and Boulevard Single Wide IPA

GarlicBreath · 04-30-2009, 06:49 AM

Victory

Footbag · 04-30-2009, 11:05 AM

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

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

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

Hopbursting ... I like it.

Add CZT in there and you're gold.
