To clarify, the NW coast "style" IPA. Many breweries around the country brew this style.
Somewhat strong alcohol, plenty of hops with citrus notes can almost take on grapefruit sometime (cascade, centennial, amarillo are some of my favs).
As far as my favorite IPAs
Ballast Point Sculpin (been in Tx maybe 8 months)
Haven't had yet will look for.
Russian River Pliney the Elder (no tx)
I want it bad
Stone IPA or Ruination IPA (in Tx)
On my too try list
Austin Beer works FireEagle (tx)
Haven't had yet actually
Sierra Nevada Torpedo (It is better in the tallboy can)
Wasn't super impressed, but it was the 2nd beer and my team lost at the bar while I drank it.
Southern Star Pinebelt Pale Ale (out of Conroe, maybe not quite an IPA but good)
Buried Hatchet Stout is by far their best beer IMO.
Bells Hop Slam (no tx)
On list
Alesmith IPA (no TX)
Never heard of
Now get ready. Some are hoppier and more bight than others. The hoppiest make my jaws clench
