Ballast Point Brewing Company
Grapefruit Sculpin India Pale Ale
I’m a sucker for an IPA and some natural citrus and I’m sold. If you like a hoppy beer this is one for you. If not steer clear!! Strong and bitter ain’t for everyone.

Feb 12th, 2018It showcases bright flavors and aromas of apricot, peach, mango & lemon. The lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hops. The Sculpin fish has poisonous spikes on its fins that can give a strong sting. Ironically, the meat from a Sculpin fish is considered some of the tastiest. Something that has a sting but tastes great; sounds like a Ballast Point India Pale Ale. This version of Sculpin IPA has grapefruit added; the grapefruit flavor really enhances the citrus aroma of the hops.

Aug 13th, 2017Love this beer. Grapefruit notes help offset mouth dryingness of the hops. Not fruity - well balanced, and worth the $$$.
