My favorite IPA's these days are also in the 6-8% range, and favorite hops are Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy, when in season. I must admit, I do like the lactose/oat cream stuff, though not necessarily any more than without.

Downtown Crown gets Other Half beers from all three Other Half locations. Dominion only gets Other Half beers from the DC location. Some Beer Advocate people report that the DC brewery doesn't have things as dialed in yet as the other two do. I haven't had any of the DC IPA's so can't report (did have a DC Other Half Crunchee/ Burley Oak JREAM hybrid fruit beer collaboration that was very good.)

Can't go wrong with the "small" series or the "all" series and then pick the ones hopped with what you like... I prefer Citra, Nelson, Riwaka, Galaxy, and MOsaic.

Good advice here. DDH All Citra Everything is particularly good.

If I were buying beer today off that list, my choices would be the following:

double forever simcoe
""        ""         citra
forever riwaka
forever green
double forever cashmere
green dots
forever nelson
forever simcoe

It should be noted that the aforementioned beer, at 8.5%, is above the 6-8 range. However, the Small Citra Everything and DDH Small Citra Everything clock on at 6.5%.

Anybody have an knowledge on the difference between the OH DDH beers and their HDHC beers?

HDHC is an acronym to denote this combo and it stands for High Density Hop Charge due to the extra high hopping rate. We are going for the biggest baddest aromatics we can and it represents around 15 lbs/bbl but with our combo of hop products its as smooth as ever.
