+1. Asking for an IPA recommendation is almost meaningless today, the styles vary so widely you could love one IPA and absolutely hate another. The differences are so vast now, unlike the days when most IPAs in the US were the bitter very hoppy west coast style. West coast IPAs taste like grass clippings to me (so I'd imagine). But I like the hazy/juicy IPAs.The popularity of IPAs meant that about every commercial release had to have "IPA" in the name. So now we have distinct styles that really are so far away from the original style that generalizing across all current styles that contain the three letters makes little sense.
My favorite IPA is Raging Bitch by Flying Dog. It’s a Belgian style IPA, and a bit boozy. A nice bitter IPA with a burger and some fries are a match made in heaven for me.

….but anytime anyone has a Pliney. It is like a worship beer…..
I will admit I just love a good cold beer, always have.
A family member got me on the IPA train a couple of years ago. At first I could not drink a IPA, had to darn near force one down. Fast forward to today and it's my goto beer by a long shot.
Best value, I really enjoy Serria Nevada's Hazy Little Thing and Big Little Thing, find them on sale often for around $14 a 12pack. If I were to pick between the two, think it would be the Hazy.
Elysian Space Dust is another tasty common one, had one of those for the first time recently. The name is just weird for some reason in my mind so never tried it, well been missing out, good beer.
Lots of local brews to choose from so that has been fun too.
Anyone have a good IPA they would like share thoughts about?
I've gotten to love the New England IPAs - maybe because I live here.
The best ones I have found are Tree House, Alchemist, and of course Hill Farmstead.
I had a decent local "New England-style" IPA when we were in Poland. I very much appreciated the effort.
