I swear this is the most overrated beer on this board.

It's good, but I could easily name 5 IPAs I like just as much, if not more than Jai Alai.

ETA: just for grins, off the top of my head

Maine Beer Lunch
Alesmith IPA
Drakes Aromacoma
Surly Wet
THA
Sculpin

I would love to do a side by side with all of these

Exceptionally good IPA, put it in the same class as Two Hearted Ale, Founders Centennial, Union Jack, etc. Would love to get it here.

It's just from all the hyperbole on here, you'd think some people are ready to put up it against Heady.

That, and at it's ABV and IBUs it's on the borderline of being a DIPA.

Agree with both of y'all. I love some from Jai Alai, and also love some Alesmith IPA, Sculpin, THA, Union Jack, etc.

I do wish we had access to it here. But, then again, it is a lot of fun searching/trading for beer that we don't have access to/have not tried before. That is what it is all about.

Also have never had Heady before...one that is on the top of my list for 2014.

Can send you a care package if you like 2 x WB IPA, 2 x White Thai, 2 x One Claw Rye PA x 2 x Gose... no skin off my back... building my BXN network so most of these guys will vouch for me. Those are the regular rotation brews.

I can only speak to one of those (Sculpin), and tasted side-by-side with Jai Alai I prefer Jai Alai. I really like Sculpin, but it's not close for me. It's just preference. I'll compare it to Furious when I crack one of those in a few days. It may be overrated, but for my buds I really like it.
