Ballast Point Sculpin IPA • 6pk Can

A trophy beer that’s a testament to our homebrew roots. Our sculpin ipa is a great example of what got us into brewing in the first place. After years of experimenting we knew hopping an ale at five separate stages would produce something special. The result ended up being this gold-medal winning ipa whose inspired use of hops creates hints of apricot peach mango and lemon flavors but still packs a bit of a sting just like a sculpin fish. 7% abv brewer’s notes the sculpin ipa is a testament to our humble beginnings as home brew mart. It 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. Awards california state fair – 2011: silver certificate
