IPA

Okay guys tell what are the best IPA's that you have tried. Australian and imported??
I have just found my love for them after 50 years. My very first IPA was given to me at Xmas it was a Feral Hop Hog where do I go from there.

Akasha, Pirate Life, Murrays, Modus Operandi all do decent IPAs. Hop Hog is a shadow of its former self and i wouldn't even consider it an IPA and i don't think Feral have called it an IPA for quite some time. Start with some American Pale Ales before you destroy your palate with some serious IPAs!

 

[LorriSanga]

Pretty much try anything from NZ.

 

[koolkuna]

Thanks I'll start looking at them cheers.

Brewdog Punk IPA is my wife's choice. Boatrocker is pretty decent too, especially if you live in Victoria and can get it fresh.

Karl straus tower 10 IPA is a good one from uncle dans. Pirate life and modus operandi are killer beers. Six string dark red IPA have turned a few of my mates into IPA lovers.

 

[Dan Pratt]

Oh yeah, definitely Tower Ten !!!

 

[koolkuna]

Going to Dans tomorrow I'll buy a couple to try cheers

The Hop Hog I had on tap last year was lovely.

Ballast Point Big Eye is my favourite from Dans.

 

[ScottyDoesntKnow]

I'm only fairly new to IPA's too, Alesmith from the US is pretty awesome. For something more local, another recommendation for Pirate Life and Murray's Fred IPA. If you can justify the cost, check out something like beercartel.com.au and go nuts!

Exit IPA 7% from VIC is excellent
Pirate Life IPA 6.8% (light blue can not the green session IPA) from SA is very good, the double IPA 8.8% (black can) is fantastic
From over the ditch I like the Heretic Evil Cousin (black/green can), I think this one is 7.8%
Modus Operandi Former Tenant is one of the best I tasted last year, more a Red IPA but absolutely gorgeous beer
Brewdog Punk IPA 6.2% is good but if you want Brewdogs best IPA go for the Jack Hammer 7%

And more mainstream that you will find in the likes of Dan's and relatively cheap the Hawthorn IPA 6.2% is actually not a bad drop too.

Commercially the one I liked the most was Mornington Peninsula IPA. It's not a style I go and seek out but found this one to be a standout.

The best IPA's I e had usually are home brewed by others.

 

[Coodgee]

Depends how fresh they are. I really like fixation ipa because it's usually very fresh

If you're going Gage Roads then Little Dove is the beer to go for.
