My wife(no pics) picked me up a bottle of Mikkeler 1000(is this really supposed to be 1000 IBU?) this week and I have heard it is the hoppiest or one of the hoppiest beers in the world. The hoppiest I think I have had is Green Flash Palate Wrecker which I did not like . It was just way to abrasive. Second would probably be Sierra Nevada Hoptinium which I love. I also had a can of Resin for the first time last night which was really hoppy and one of the best beers I have had in a while.

I've tried the Mikkeller 1000 IBU, so I guess in theory that one, but in theory you can't really distinguish much past 100 IBU.

I'd agree that Palate Wrecker might 'taste' the most bitter. I still like it though.

What did you think of the Mikkeller? Trying to decide between it and 120 minute for tommorow.

I've tried hop extract oil. Would not recommend.

From what I remember, pretty blah.

I think 120 Minute is the better beer, but it's absolutely a barleywine masquerading as a DIPA. I just happen to love barleywines.

I had one I had aged a year recently but never one fresh. I have heard this years is a lot hoppier than years past.

Moylans Hopsickle......although I homebrewed a 360 ibu beer. Like others have said, after 100 or so ibus, the hop is mute.

Someone on here said Ghost is supposedly 140 IBUs? I've had Palate Wrecker as well and enjoy it. Isn't that 140?

Buffalo Bayou's Moar Cowbell is supposed to be around 115 IBUs, but it's also probably the 6th best DIPA out of the Houston area, and I think I even liked my neighbor's accidental homebrew DIPA better, so it's 7th best.

Stone Double Damnation was the hoppiest I had that was still drinkable. Much beyond that and they fall off the cliff for me.
