Its good. It was off and on with getting it fresh at the specs near my place.

People went crazy over the grapefruit sculpin. I thought it was very good but I preferred the original.

I originally thought it was pricey but people are paying more for ghost.

I like the original better than the grapefruit. I've seen the habanero but haven't tried it yet.

The new Pineapple Sculpin is surprisingly good.

Anyone else remember the Miller Lite Man Law commercials from about ten years ago? Don't fruit your beer was one of them. Ha. Times have changed.

Should have said don't drink light beer and claim to be a man..

Sculpin is awesome, really liked the grapefruit too. Hopefully they come to LA sometime soon. Also like how they can most of their beers.

The habenero sculpin is good. My wife thinks it is too spicy, but I really like it.

Pineapple sculpin


I had it on tap at Ballast point and it was phenomenal. Friend had it on tap at a downtown bar the next day and it was "ok". So its shelf life must be pretty short.

I just can't get into the fruit IPAs. I'd rather just have a good IPA. I don't think fruit adds much to it.

I've had grapefruit Sculpin. It was ok but not worth the price. I'll have to give the plain sculpin another shot.

I really enjoy the OG Sculpin. One of the first IPA's that really sold me on the style years ago. BP has done a good job with the flavored versions as well. I've been drinking the Pineapple lately and it is damn near perfect for that style.

My current favorite is Atalanta by Orpheus (an Atlanta brewery). It's a plum Saison. Wonderful.

I preferred the grapefruit version which is unusual for me.

Watermelon Dorado


Had this last night. It was horrible-mostly just fake watermelon flavors with very little hint of IIPA. Get a sample if you can-don't buy a sixer.

IMO, Ballast Point is going off the edge with these fruited beers. Just give me a fresh Sculpin and I'm good.

Yep a nice draft grapefruit or habanero in a warm day is hard to beat.
