COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
San Diego IPA
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.

UPDATED: MAR 10, 2023 Bra tryck från botten med grov citrus, mango och ananas. Trots IPA klass är den tungt söt men inte sockrig vilket gör den behaglig. Träffsäker brygd!

UPDATED: JAN 13, 2023 Deep gold to pale amber with a smooth white head and delicate carbonation; aromas of malts, toffifee, apricot and peach; rich malty toffee and resine taste with a pungent and lingering bitter finish; medium body; bittery and stingy mouthfeel.

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2021 Had it many times, never bothered to review until today. Pours a clear pumpkin color with a stable eggshell head. Nose is citrus and malt galore, resin, nectarine. Crisp and clean, rich malts, well balanced with lingering citrus bitterness.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2021 Fint, tätt skum som håller ok. Ngt grumlig i färg av äppeljuice. Svag citrusdoft. Smak med tall, citrus, hint av kola. Tydlig och trevlig beska från start som håller en bra bit in i eftersmaken.
4.1
UPDATED: APR 2, 2021 Aroma: Citrus aroma of hops, tropical fruit, mango
Appearance: golden body, very beautiful
Taste: very refreshing to drink, sweet mango tropical fruits, fresh citrus, and slightly pine needle taste, moderate body, no pressure to drink, the end of the hop bitterness is moderate.
Feeling: the date of drinking is January 2017, and it's great to drink it in two months of canned food in China, with high cost performance and just good alcohol content. It's great as a summer ration.
