Surly furious, or abrasive are two of my choices.

Worth it.

Seriously????? Ranger Rampant and Torpedo are my "go to's" and I just had foto for the first time last weekend and liked it. This weekend is a "Rampant weekend". The closest store I've found to have rampant is in Rogers so my lovely lady gets it for me on her way home from work when I want it.

My brother in law turned me from Mich Golden a little over a year ago and now it's nothing but IPA. He lives in Seattle and we text pics of new ones we try. The last one he sent was "Hoppy Bitch" but I haven't found it here. With that name it's gotta be good:)

Just found this group today and look forward to new IPA's to try.

Just picked up a 6er of Flipside this week for our "BeerThirty" daily end of work tasting.

Very good aroma, Good flavor. Tastes like Citra hops which I have become quite fond of.

Will get it again.

Had a Stone "Enjoy by 9/13/13" DIPA today at the Boulder Tap House while watching NDSU decimate Deleware State. Very tasty IPA. 9+% abv, very hoppy and bitter. Try it, you'll like it!

haven't had it for a while but yes I like that one too.

I often find myself staring in the coolers now looking at some of them wondering if I've tried them and if I did try them if I liked them. Sometimes my wife asks what took me so long :)

Has anyone tried Founders Curmudgeon? I haven't been able to pull the trigger with the $13 for a 4 pack.

Check out the Fresh Hop from Schell's. We just bottled anad kegged it on Tuesday. It's a fresh hop unfiltered unpastuerized pilsner (german brewery...we can't help it). Not IPA strength (5.6% I think), but a nice hoppy beer.
