Our Grapefruit Sculpin is the latest take on our signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin’s unique flavor, but the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements our IPA’s citrusy hop character. Grapefruit’s a winter fruit, but this easy-drinking ale tastes like summer.

Can. Golden body with a big, frothy, white head. Aroma of grapefruit rind and juice, lemon, toasted grain, dough. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety/watery texture, lively carbonation. A citrus-leaning IPA with grapefruit juice — an OK balance of it, too. Light astringent bitterness in the finish pops up every few sips.

Bottle. Grapefruit overload, lots of tropical fruits and some caramel. Lovely, aggressive bitterness and a long-lasting bitter finish. Awesome!

Bouteille 355ml. Couleur orange foncé limpide mousse blanc cassé crémeuse et persistante laissant une belle dentelle. Arôme de pamplemousse rose, malt, houblon herbal. Goût de pamplemousse rose, houblon résineux, amertume plutôt élevée, malt en fin de bouche. Carbonatation moyenne-élevé, corps moyen. C’est bien, mais c’est plutôt unidimensionnel.

Can at Top Hops in Brooklyn. It pours clear amber with a decent white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, sweet grapefruit, lemony sherbet, toasty grass, light caramel and pine. The taste is crisp, pretty dry, bitter, clean, piney fresh, grapefruit, lemon zest, toasty grass, light dankness and touch of alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Doesn’t really beat the regular version, but it’s tasty nonetheless.

Bottle at Winston. Clear amber copper, good white head, lace. Aroma has citrus, grapefruit and hints of caramel. Medium-bodied. Flavor is lemony and grapefruity hoppy, even with some candy feeling. Interesting.
