I had some Goose IPA the other day. It wasn't bad. I really like Back in Black which is a black IPA from 21st Amendment Brewery. One of my favorite beers though is Magic Hat #9. They call it almost an IPA. I'm not sure what that means, but it is delicious. God, I love beer.

Almost IPA is similar in hops to pliney

It is a pale wheat, and it's an IPA too. http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/lagunitas-a-little-sumpin-sumpin-ale/103006/ .
Quote:
Way smooth and silky with a nice wheaty-esque-ish-ness. Just the little sumpin’ sumpin’ we all need to kick Summer into full swing! Ingredients: Hops, Malt, Hops, Hops, Yeast, Hops, Water, and Hops.
Based on that ordering, they are saying that it has a lot of late hop additions (adding aroma) and is dry hopped twice. Similarly, Sumpin' Wild! is a Belgian/Wild IPA and Sumpin Extra an imperial IPA. Personally, I might call them all pales (Wild a Belgian pale), because I like the minimalist approach.
Stone IPA was one of my first favorite IPAs and I could never get tired of it; I am definitely partial to old school resinous piney IPAs over contemporary fruit cocktail IPAs. Obviously I'm not knocking those either, what with the Lil Sumpin's and Ruination 2.0 and all

Fun fact for all you Hop-heads out there; the human tongue can not discern the different between anything above 75 IBU.

Here's an idea for a party for you beer lovers. Tell all your guests to bring a six pack or so of beer that they don't think most others have tried. Then, when everybody gets there, everyone shares and tries the other guests' beers. I've tried tons of different beers this way.

I'm sure that fun fact is an average

Most tongues might only be able to discern*. We most definitely gain tolerance to bitterness. Firestone Walker's (Who brew possibly my favorite year-round IPAs) head brewer on how beer has changed in the last 10 years (at the time)- "Our Lupulin threshold has shifted" 
Also, IBU while an indicator of how much lupulin a beer contains is not the only aspect determining bitterness. The astringency of alcohol, richness of malt flavors, and bright dry hop flavors (which don't add bitterness) can/will totally hide bitterness. For this reason many find the 4-5%, 40-50 IBU session IPAs to drink much more bitter and resinous than an 8-9% IPA, and a 6-7% to a lesser extent. A hops flavor can make a big difference, too- Chinook (Stone IPA and Arrogant Bastard) is downright offensive to a lot of people, its pineyness seems very sharp and woodsy.

I am currently drinking my favorite bottled IPA, Deschutes Inversion.
The best one I have ever had though was Amnesia Desolation, an unfiltered IPA which is only available in kegs (last I checked anyway). Every place here (PDX) has an IPA on tap so I often don't even check which one, but just order "pint of IPA" when out. I loves 'em all.

I'm really liking their new "Pine Drops"  Exactly as advertised, super piney and resinous with little-no bright flavors. Reminds me a lot of the wet cascades used in their old hop harvest beer "Hop Trip".

Decent "argument", but one IPA is roughly equal, in my opinion, to 2 domestic beers. At least in terms of my intoxication.
