Ballast Point Sculpin IPA (7.0 ABV)

The Sculpin IPA is a testament to our humble beginnings as Home Brew Mart. Founded in 1992, the Mart continues to be a catalyst for the San Diego brewing scene, setting the trend for handcrafted ales. Inspired by our customers, employees and brewers, the Sculpin IPA is bright with aromas of apricot, peach, mango and lemon. Its lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hops. This delicious Ballast Point Ale took a Bronze Medal at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival in the Pro Am category. The Sculpin fish has poisonous spikes on its fins that can give a strong sting. Ironically, the meat from a Sculpin is considered some of the most tasty. Something that has a sting but tastes great, sounds like a Ballast Point India Pale Ale.

I've had this on my must try list for a long time. Definitely worth the wait...an Awesome IPA! Pours a hazy golden yellow with a small off-white head. A nicely balanced aroma with hints of peaches and lemon zest and piney undertones. The taste is full of sweet fruits and a nice hop bitterness at the end.

Delicious IPA

Just about a perfect "west coast" IPA. Grapefruit and pine; perfect bitterness and pop

Love this IPA!

Much lighter bodied for an IPA than I expected, had it on tap, would like to try it again, pref from the bottle, score reserved.
