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.
Review: Pours a terrific gold with a fabulous head. Nice lacing afterwards. Good carbonation. Smell is great with lots of piney grapefruity freshness. I still can't get over the aroma. So clean and aromatic. Taste is equally impressive. Nice, clean, refreshing, lots of flavor. A great beer.
ABV: 7%
Interesting Note: Ballast point now produces spirits as well.
