Mar 13, 2008 Aroma is off the charts - hello super pine and resin bomb! Nice golden in color with a little white head. Flavor subsists of pine, citrus and melons with the Ballast Point dryness at the swallow. This is easily one ofthe freshest IPAs I have ever had and my favorite beer of 2008.

Mar 31, 2007 Updated: May 11, 2007Holy mother of god! Had it on draft at Ballast Point Brewery. This one caught my attention big time! I am now an avid IPA fan...thank you Sculpin an Ballast Point. Very citrusy, excellent aroma and excellent taste. Very balanced beer, bitter yet fruity, taste like a combo of mangos and banannas. Very bitter begining but smooth fruity finish....mmmmmm excellent especially for a 7.0% ABV!! Wish they bottled it or at least brewed it more often, sucks when you want a growler fill but they are still fermenting it.

Apr 12, 2008 Bottle from naven. Oh no. I knew I was in for it when I popped the top. Pure, huge, fresh grapefruit and peach aroma. Perfect aroma. Beautiful pour with great lacing. Add this to my list of beers I’d have to have if deserted on an island. This is perfection in a glass. Flavor is pure hops without being overpowering. Possibly the best iipa or IPA I’ve tried. The best use of hops for bittering and flavoring that I’ve ever witnessed. I think I might cry.

Aug 18, 2007 Cask/Draft @ Hamiltons. One of my favorite IPA’s. Dank, sticky, piney, citrusy, skunky. A Healthy mouthfeel and dangerously drinkable.

Apr 15, 2008 Updated: Apr 21, 2008A hoppy light floral aroma that’s not that strong. First sip - whew! That’s a double IPA! The meat of the beer isn’t as agressive as the head or the first sip but it has a nice finish and when you want something with a kick this is it.
