I still haven't narrowed it down to 3 yet since my last post here a few years ago, but I am going to say that Alpine Nelson is definitely on my short list. Pliny, Heady Topper, and Sculpin are all contenders, too.

Just browsed through much of this discussion...

IPA, Double IPA, Extra IPA, Imperial IPA... whatever you want to call them.

Is it really that big of a deal to make a huge distinction between these styles in a simple forum discussion about Favorite IPAs?

If someone says Pliny or Heady Topper, why is it a big deal? Do you really have to point out, like a Ref with a stick up his butt, that those are technically not regular IPAs? ...Anyway, just a pet peeve of mine.
