    Well, I've finished my sixer of it. It was good, but not a release I'll seek out again at this price tag. FWIW, Hop Stoopid blows P-Sculp away for pure pineapple syrup goodness, without any added natural flavors and at a fraction of the retail price...

    My local Total Wine was supposed to receive this yesterday but the shipment has been delayed until further notice. Freshness is of the essence here :wink:

    I'm hoping to find a single of Pineapple. I'm not willing to take the chance on a 6-pack.

    That is a good idea; just try a single.

    Cheers!

    I heard grapefruit was way more prominent then the Pineapple one. I'll probobly just keep buying GF because I love it so much. That and v@s and regular sculpin. They can keep the rest

    Pineapple was rather subtle to me. Noticeable, more in the nose, but not overbearing. Not sure it added much to the base beer, but if you like Sculpin, and you don't mind pineapple, you should enjoy it.

    Didn't get hardly any pineapple sweetness. More like Pineapple rind on the backend.

    Much prefer regular Sculpin and GF Sculpin. The grapefruit seemed to blend better with the already mildly grapefruit hop notes, while the pineapple just sort of clashes and diminishes the hops. Just one guy's opinion.

    I had the watermelon dorado and I thought it was a nice refreshing beer.

    I am so in love with this beeeeeer. I had it before they started bottling. I don't even really care for pineapple, but it's probably my favorite Sculpin variant.

    I got singles of both Pineapple Sculpin and Watermelon Dorado. The pineapple was just ok, its not terrible, I just didnt really get a pineapple taste. I was surprised by the fact that I liked the Watermelon Dorado though, I was expecting a fake tasting jolly rancher, but the watermelon taste was much more subtle.

    I got a single of this last night, as it finally arrived in Michigan. After a few sips I went to check the empty bottle to make sure I bought the right one. I thought for sure I grabbed a regular Sculpin on accident, I got almost no Pineapple taste at all.

    Had it on tap 2 days ago and glad I did. Good beer but the pineapple was not nearly as present as the grapefruit in Grapefruit Sculpin. Glad I didn't buy a 6 pack.

    A local bottle shop had a Ballast Point event last week. Pineapple Sculpin isn't bad, subtle flavor. Mango Even Keel not bad for a session brew. Watermelon Dorado ...blech, with a good buzz factor.

    I did not like the pineapple... The watermelon was just ok and the ginger was fair. Grapefruit and habanero were the best.

    I'm drinking this right now. I think it's great. Pineapple is not overwhelming.

    wow. haven't tasted the dorado but i cant imagine why you would pour a pineapple sculpin down the drain... i'm legitimately shocked.

    I was underwhelmed. The pineapple flavor is very faint.
