A few reviews today:
Grapefruit Sculpin IPA by Ballast PointI'm typically not a fan of fruity beers (especially the low-alcohol ones that are
really fruity - those are horrendous), but this one is terrific. As the name suggests, the taste of grapefruit is prevalent - but make no mistake about it, this is a man's beer. 7% ABV. Strong flavor, bitter finish. If you're not a fan of strong citrusy beers, you probably won't like this one. Otherwise, it's delicious. Personally I do get a little taste fatigue with this one.
8.5 / 10. Recommended. Not cheap though at about $14 per 6-pack.
Sculpin IPA by Ballast PointJust the regular Sculpin.
Great beer. Nice balance of sweetness, bitterness; it's everything an IPA should be. Very drinkable but at the same time with complex flavor. Gave me a wicked hangover, but I ain't mad.
9.5 / 10. Highly recommended. Again, about ~$14 for a 6 pack.
I'm very impressed with Ballast Point. Wish I could find that Porter that Lucky17 posted above, I'd bet good money that it's terrific.
