Anyone recommend good India Pale Ales to try?

IPAs make my tongue happy.

Lagers, do, but not as much.

Sierra Nevada makes one of my favorite IPAs along with Bells.

I hate you cause I can’t drink. More power to you and I will stop following.

Sampson Great answer Bells two hearted IPA… FABULOUS!

@SeventhSense ???

@scotielee not sure if you can find it in your neck of the woods, but Bent River Brewery has a nice Pale Ale that is very hoppy and sharp, a great beer for those that like ales. Persoanlly, I prefer stouts, and BRB Oatmeal Stout is my favorite. Smooth and has just a hint of sweetness, but not too bitter.

@evelyns_pet_zebra thank you for the advice! I’ll try to find it!

Trippel IPA from New Belgium Brewing Co.

One of my all time favorites!

I just had the pleasure of tasting Russian River’s Pliny the Elder… it knocked my socks off It’s an American Double/IPA

it was paired very nicely with Sun dried tomato/spinach sausage, served along side of stewed back eyed peas and a port/balsamic reduction…

Pliny the Elder? He was killed by Vesuvius in 79AD. What would he know about pale ale?

I can’t explain the name of the beer, @AstroChuck LOL, but it was a REALLY enjoyable beer
here’s one of the many good reviews from Beer advocate
A – Poured a gold-copper color, with about a finger’s width of off-white head.

S – Had to back away when I opened this one! Felt like I was sitting in a bin full of hops. Heavy floral, citrus, and pine notes as soon as the cap popped off, with gradual honey and grapefruit as the beer warmed up.

T – Excellent, is the best way to describe it. Very floral and citrusy up front, with the pine notes and hop bitterness taking over towards the back.

M – Perfect carbonation, with a rather light mouthfeel for an IIPA.

D – Only category I dropped it slightly in. Because of the very upfront taste and full flavor profile, not something I could session or drink all night. I guess the fact that I’m on the wrong coast to get this beer has something to do with it too. :)

Overall, though, a fantastic beer that I hope my friend in California will send me more of. I’d love to try Pliny the Younger, and many more from Russian River wherever I can get my hands on them.

I find IPAs give the sensation of drinking in a funeral parlor. The floral bouquet just seems to be consistently over the top,

If you want to ask another question, regarding beer in general, I can give several good recommendations in pretty much the whole rest of the beer spectrum.

@erniefernandez I like beer in general. I’d love to hear some of your thoughts.

Red hook is really good

Deuchars

Columbus Brewing Company IPA

Stone IPA, all the way. This is a very good beer. From Stone Brewing Company, I believe there in San Diego, Ca. If I remember correctly it sort of taste like…
