Double IPA baby!!!!!

I tried a beer called 'The Terminator' tonight, which is produced by the Oakham Ales Brewery in UK. It's 7.9% abv and is by far the hoppiest beer I have ever tasted. We know the head brewer quite well and I asked him how many IBU this would be, roughly. He said, well over 100. This was in passing conversation, so that's as much info as I got.

I realise that this isn't an awful lot to go on. This beer was really, really hoppy, towards the end of what I would drink. I could not drink this beer all night.

I just wondered what the most hoppy / bitter beers were that you guys had sampled... I haven't ever tasted a beer this hoppy and the really malty / sweet beers I have tasted had never been too sweet or malty but the taste tonight was overwhelming.
Cheers Bernie

I like Weyerbachers Double Simcoe. A bigger beer would be Dogfish Head's 120 minute IPA at 21% ABV and I think 120 IBU.

Stone Ruination IPA is listed at 100+ IBU's and it's definitely bitter.

Pliny the Elder is around 240 IBU's [somebody correct me if I'm wrong] and I would say that it's the most balanced beer I've tasted.

It is around 92.

It is difficult to get much more than 100 IBUs into a beer. The brewing software programs do not take this into account.

Another great one is Avery's "The Maharaja" (spelling?). Great beer. Also.....I'm drinking Hopsicle as we speak.....pretty good.

Arrogant Bastard clone on a hop randall with 6oz of amarillo and cascades in it. That was one *&@%in' hoppy beer!
