When I visited the US, last year, I had so many.

But there were a couple of real standouts.

RR: PLINY THE ELDER
LAGUNITAS: MAXIMUS
21ST AMENDMENT: BACK IN BLACK

Here in New Zealand there are a plenty as well.

8Wired - Hopwired
Garage Project Pernicious Weed
EPIC - Armageddon IPA
 
Fat Heads - Hop Juju
Pipeworks - Ninja vs Unicorn
Three Floyds - permanent funeral
 
From the top of my head:
Four Corners - El Chingon
Karbach - Hopadillo
Lorelei Brewing - Seeing Double IPA

Based on Untapped; my top 3 IPA's are:
Beer Republic - Racer 5
Stone IPA
Ballast Point - Sculpin IPA
 
Cigar City Jailai (Jai Lai? cant remember if theres a space)
Bell's Two Hearted
TrimTab Brewing Company TrimTab IPA (seriously if you find this get it!)

Its too bad two of my favorites I cannot get locally.
 
Updated now after I've had a LOT more IPAs...

1. Pirate Life IIPA
2. Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin
3. Oskar Blues Passionfruit Pinner
 
1. Exquisite Beast - Dancing Gnome
2. Foshomo - Brew Gentleman
3. Better 1 or 2 - Dancing Gnome
 
Treehouse "Alter-Ego"

Two of my DIPA's
- "Storm Stalker" hops - x331, Idaho 7, Citra, and Amarillo
- "A Guy Named Steve" birthday beer for a friend. hops Citra, Mosaic, Motueka
 
My top-ranked IPAs include:
Tree House - Doppelgänger
Old Nation - M-43
Maine - Lunch or Another One

...but some more readily-available IPAs like Founders All Day, NEBCO Sea Hag, or Bells Two Hearted are pretty hard to beat.
 
Trillium - DDH congress
Tree House - Green
Hill Farmstead - Double Galaxy
OH - DDH cabbage
 
wow, good question:
Bells - Hopslam
Surly - Abrasive Ale
Boulevard - Double Wide IPA <---- the reason for this is it's very consistent, always enjoyable, and never any complaints.
 
Madison River Brewing - Dropper
Midnight Sun Brewing - Hop Dog
Squatters - Hop Rising
