180 on IPAs

[SoupNazi]

Ive always enjoyed IPAs for the aroma and bitterness of hops, even while party drinking in college. But when I first tried Hopslam 4 years ago, I was completely hooked on finding extreme hoppy beers.


I just tried Green Flash's Palate Wrecker lastnight. WOW! Definately takes hoppiness to another level. Mashed and sparged with hopped wort. Then heavily hopped. Might have to go get another

Short's Liberator.

i don't care what anyone says, i'd take a Short's over a Bell's any day.

you michiganians take your beer for granted, i tell ya!

Agreed on the Shorts vs Bells. It's not that I dislike Bells in anyway, but with Shorts, Founders, and Jolly Pumpkin all available whenever needed... Bells is one of my last picks anymore.

I'm not into extremely hoppy beers, but I like hop flavor a lot. The first beer to really do it for me was Sam Adams Noble Pils. Not an IPA and not that bitter (34 IBU) but the hops are the main flavor component, and it was the first beer I liked that was hop-forward in flavor.
