Topcutter by bale breaker brewery is by far the most hop forward IPA I have tasted. It was almost just a hop tea rather than a beer. Pliny has great aroma and as is mentioned enjoy by does too. But overall I think bale breaker is hoppiest.

Pliny of course for all around"hoppy".
I had some Ballast Point IPA at a local place, not sure which IPA it was, but you could smell the citrus a block away, I was very impressed with that beer.

Ruination and Torpedo are my go to commercial IPAs, both readily available and very tasty IMO.

I agree so far. Its my absolute favorite. Sucks that getting my hands on some requires so much logistics

Tell me about it... My in law drove 12+ hours to get two cases... Just a perfect beer from top to bottom
 
Palette Wrecker for me!

I finally got a chance to try Palette Wrecker last night. It's a very solid beer, but I was shocked to read that it's 149 IBUs. I guess my palette has already been wrecked! I didn't think it was any more bitter than Lagunitas Sucks, which has a very pronounced resiny hop flavor, or Green Flash Green Bullet, which is kind of similar to Sucks. I also didn't think Hop Stoopid was all that bitter. Wish I could get my hands on some Heddy Topper, Hopslam, or Pliney here in Texas. My LHBS had a homebrew Pliney clone on tap that I tried the other day, and it was seriously good. I think the clerk said they used a full pound of hops in a 5 gallon batch. Not sure of the specific addition times. So I guess Ruinition is the hoppiest I've ever had, but it's been a long time since I've tried it.

Skagit River Gospel IPA is definitely the most bitter, harsh IPA I've ever had. I love it, and to me it's a good bitter, but my guess is that it's not for everyone.
