Ballast Point - Grapefruit Sculpin (Cans)

Can't wait to see how overpriced it will be.

 

What a great beer and now in cans!!! Heaven

 

No need to wait: BevMo shows Grapefruit Sculpin in a 6 pack of bottles in Washington to be $18.99 to the regular plebes and $14.99 for BevMo card holders. Cans will probably be the same based on prices for regular Sculpin (which are also $14.99).

 

Please tell me this is real.

 

Ridic.

 

If this makes the price of 6 packs of grapefruit cheaper I am all for it.

 

Absolutely...I have had it recently for the first time on draft and fresh bottles....the grapefruit is so overpowering. It almost taste completely fake and chemically added grapefruit although it's confirmed its real grapefruit juice added.

Just too much for me, it completely takes away from the genuine IPA taste that makes Sculpin what it is.

Stone's first Stochasticity grapefruit slam was a lot better imo GF Sculpin isn't a bad beer, it's just too much, i've had it but won't be getting it on the regular.

 

Haven't even tried it yet. I'll probably pick some up when my current IPA stash runs out. I don't drink enough to have too deep of an IPA bench at any given time.

 

Have GF Sculpin cans made it to the East Coast yet?

 

I'm surprised this beer is so universally liked. I think the grapefruit is way too dominant and overwhelming. Really don't care for it.

 

Craftshack.com has them. You can get packs or singles. Mine will arrive Monday!

 

grapefruit sculpin in cans makes my summer better, many will be drank on the boat.

 

Had my first on the other night...received in trade from Wisconsin. Great beer. Not sure how some think that an artificial grapefruit aroma and flavor...it's as real as can be. Loved it, look forward to more here in the Midwest.

 

I'd rather squeeze a bit of real grapefruit juice into a cheaper ipa than buy gf sculpin

 

saying that, I just got a 6pack of cans for 12.99 dated april 14 still prefer plain ol og

 

That's a great price.

Bottleworks in Seattle tweeted earlier today that they got GF Sculpin in cans as well. I've had it a few times in bottles, and I prefer regular Sculpin, but I can see the GF version in rotation in summer, as it comes across to me like a well-done 'shandy IPA' (if that's not an oxymoron).

 

I just grabbed a pack of cans today in WMass. $13.19, exactly the same as the bottles.

 

I apologize to all for my crying in my beer. I can't get this beer. I envy all who can.

 

I don't know about anyone else, but I actually got less grapefruit flavor in the cans than in the bottles. Maybe they tweaked the recipe, putting less juice in this batch. Maybe a lot of people similar to @DaltonC thought it was too shandy-like so they mixed it up. Personally, I loved it more grapefruit flavor.
