Pliny. I get why its beloved. It was one of the first DIPAs and was held as a standard for the style for so long. But nowadays there are so many better DIPAs out there.

I would be with you last year. I didn't understand the hype. I thought it was great, but there were so many other ipa's. But, as my taste buds come full circle concerning IPA's, i tend to agree with Pliny being ranked at the top. It is clean, not too malty, not too bitter, and the hop notes are distinguishable. It's just a well done all around beer.

I know this may earn some ridicule from others but....

I lover Ghost. I think it's the best IPA done in the south, but... I know it's heresy, but i think they could tone down some of the hops a little, for my taste. I believe i've said it before, but if they could maybe reduce the amount of Amarillo and balance it out a little, i think it would be more enjoyable for me. Again, i'd trade nearly anything in my fridge for a Ghost, and will scramble on release day to multiple stores to find some, i just don't think it is quite perfect yet. It's getting close, but still needs some slight fine tuning.
