After trying literally hundreds of different IPA's (I used to keep track), I have to say Stone Enjoy by... is my current #1. Also I went to Columbus Ohio again this spring and had plenty of Columbus Brewing Columbus IPA. Still ranks up there for me. Another new favorite of mine is Blackrock 51k ipa. So I'll go with those 3 for now:

Stone Enjoy By
Columbus IPA
Blackrock 51k

 

[olotti]

Top 3 for me:

Lagunitas sucks my fav beer hands down.

Shorts Superfluid IIPA- awesome beer very sucks-esque, flies off the shelves here in Michigan.

Stone Enjoy by- Drank my first one the April version and really really enjoyed it.

And of course all 3 are limited production and availability. Honorable mention to Founders Centennial as the IPA that is available year round.

 

[plath]

Founder's centennial or bell's two hearted.

 

[Ridire]

Tough to narrow it to 3.

Off the top of my head:

Two Hearted (Bells)
Sculpin (Ballast Point)
Huma Lupa Licious (Shorts)

 

[grathan]

Sixpoint - Resin
Firestone - Union Jack
Flying Dog - Raging Bitch

 

[wmcc75]

Dogfish head - Aprihop
Elevation - First Cast
Sam Adams - Revolution

Hard to cut the list down to 3 ipas comprise most of what I drink.

[JordanKnudson]

Lagunitas Sucks (like many other folks, this is my hands down #1)
DFH 90 minute
Stone Go-To, which I find to be impressively hoppy for a low-ABV beer.

I should mention that, being a midwesterner who has never participated in a long distance trade or made a beer pilgrimage to either coast, I haven't had the opportunity to try such mainstays as Heady Topper or Pliny the Elder/Younger.
