Although I’ve been exploring many styles, IPAs are still among my favorites. Rather than sample "traditional” IPAs, I thought it would be fun to try some that offer a twist. So I assembled this this motley collection of high hopped brews and will be tasting them during the next few weeks.
- Aprihop, Dogfish Head. An IPA brewed with apricots.
- Big A IPA, Smuttynose. The name says it all.
- Decadent Imperial IPA, Ska. A reincarnation of their Pinstripe Pale Ale.
- Double Jack, Firestone Walker: The first Double IPA made by the good folks from Paso Robles.
- Pitch Black IPA, Widmer Brothers: A Cascadian Dark Ale formerly known as W'10.
- Raging Bitch, Flying Dog: A Belgian-style IPA.
Two of these beers, Big A and Decadent, are not available in Oregon. Read this for details on why I included them. This will be fun...

Nice grab. I really like the Aprihop, which is only available in March/April. It's like #9 done in a way that makes the beer interesting, whereas the #9 is more of a lazy summer afternoon beer.
I've never had any Magic Hat. I'm headed to the East Coast soon and will look for it.
