It's funny because I used to fear IPAs and then I tried one. Now it seems like the IPAs I've tried aren't hoppy enough. I want that big, juicy hope aroma. I guess I'm going to switch to DIPAs but I'll probably just brew my own.

What a great beer....Its the CTZ/Simcoe combo I think. This beer is heavily hopped for sure
I usually prefer the IPA's to the DIPA's just because they have less body/sweetness and finish dryer.

From their site:
"San Diego IPA, as it has come to be known by many, is pale in color, super-hoppy, high-gravity, yet a highly quaffable ale. Our Imperial IPA is created in this new tradition with intense hop flavors and aromas from a unique blend of Summit and Nugget hops."
It's those summit. I think I could pick out that flavor in any beer that used even one pellet of it.

I'm gonna buck the trend and say that I thought it was too dry for me. It accomplished what it set out to, so in that respect it's a really good beer. Personally, though, I prefer them just a touch sweeter.

I've yet to try it. I did have their barley wine, which was more like a IIIPA with how unbelievable hoppy it was. Loved it.
