Inspired by this thread I went and bought some proper glasses to sample some quality brews. I usually just drink straight from the bottle: Heineken, Sam, etc.
First was : Stone IPA

I really enjoyed this one. It was bright, crisp and full of flavor. I noticed a citrusy note to it which I really enjoyed.
Next was Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

I found this one not as bright tasting as the Stone. I enjoyed it as well but found it a little "earthier" than the Stone. I still enjoyed it but I preferred the Stone IPA more.
I am really looking forward to trying some other beers/ales based on this thread. My beer store has a nice collection so I am looking forward to exploring.
Random observations: I love the colorful labels and packaging on the different brews. Lots of fun. Also, these IPAs pack a bit of a kick. Feels like I shouldn't be pounding them back. After 4 or 5, I think my session is done. I consider myself a heavy drinker.
Sorry if TL;DR
Cheers!
