An East Coast take on our Classic West Coast IPA. Haze and the addition of Galaxy and Nelson hops set this Sculpin brew apart from the rest. This modern evolution is juicy, earthy, and approachable with soft bitterness, but still lets the hops shine – just like you’d expect.

Part of a Sculpin IPA Variety Pack. 12oz can
Pours a hazy, totally opaque, honey-orange color. A puffy one finger, whiteish head on the initial pour.
Aromas of citrus and hops.
A tangy IPA. Flavors of bright citrus like grapefruit, lemon, pineapple and semi- bitter hops. Very tasty.
Medium carbonation, medium consistancy.
Overall, a good IPA. Not outstanding but a solid brew...cheers!

Decent not great offering but def worth picking up since i don’t see it that often. Part of a mix pack and a worthy contributor
L: from the can and the can is pretty cool
S: sweet citrus, not much pine to speak of
T: follows the nose. Delivers a bit of pineapple. Touch of bitterness, dry finish. Ok but not stellar.
F: smooth. Decent
O: good stuff but i would pick up original or grapefruit if buying a 6. As part of a mix pack, it’s a nice diversion.

Prefer regular Sculpin and Sculpin Grapefruit but this isn’t bad. Would buy again in a pinch.

Beautiful color and feels nice on the tongue, pleasant with maybe a little mango/apricot, but not overly juicy....and then...it almost vanishes in your mouth....very little aftertaste, which I suppose is better than lingering unpleasantness, but I thought it was very unusual. Overall, very drinkable and I would buy again.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours hazy orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of bright tropical and citrus. Tastes of tropical fruit with nice citrus notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Canned on 9/6/23 and poured into a Delerium Tremens tulip. Nice color and foamy head. This hazy is a grapefruit/pineapple bomb. Nice mouthfeel and easy drinking. I think this is one to pair with food, maybe jerk BBQ or something on the tropical side. I would buy it again for the food pairing aspect.
