Ballast Point Sculpin

Ballast Point Sculpin

STYLE: American IPA
STATS: 7% ABV

Pours golden honey with great clarity and thick white head. Smells of citrus, pine, and floral hops. I’ve tried this one in many different serving styles: Bottle, tap, growler and the taste is consistent. A great IPA taste. Thick and rich without losing the fruitiness experienced in the aroma. It’s one of my favorite beers. I do have to knock it down a bit because it’s on the pricey side. It’s $16 for a six pack and I’ve seen the Bomber bottles anywhere from $9-$12 which makes it on the expensive end for beers in our local area.

Ballast Point Fathom IPL

Ballast Point Fathom IPL

STYLE: American Double / Imperial Pilsner
STATS: 6.8% ABV

Straw colored pour w/ a foamy, white head. It has a strong, citrus aroma. Almost smells of grapefruit. It's carbonated w/ a slightly sweet flavor that balances out the IPA bitterness. The cirtus hops never let the taste fall into the "too hoppy" category (sorry hop heads). This is truly a unique blend of a lager & an IPA. Very interesting to try but won't be a staple in my fridge.

Ballast Point Big Eye

Ballast Point Big Eye

STYLE: India Pale Ale (IPA)
STATS: 7% ABV / 71 IBU

The pour is a clearer, dark amber with a light, white head. Hoppy smell. Very good IPA. Could be a good starter for an IPA hater. Excellent flavor.
