The best of the three I could lay to hand, by far, was Sierra Nevada's Torpedo "Extra" IPA.
It's close to their "Celebration Ale," which is the best beer in the world.* It makes use of different hops during the brewing process, but ends up with a similar character. While it lacks the perfection of Celebration Ale, it's a fine substitute for the rest of the year. (After all, there ought to be something special about Christmas!)
You can see the rich character in its color. For me, it's as good as I expect an ale to be, outside of the Yuletide.
* In my opinion.
