Our Sculpin IPA with Habanero Pepper began as a crazy experiment that’s taken on a life of its own. While its bright fruit notes and hoppy bite has made the original one of our favorites, this version takes that balance of flavors to the next level with the citrusy, floral heat of habaneros. Sculpin are known to sting, but this one’s got a kick.

Yeah so this is an ipa with a serious Habanero kick. Nice experiment but IMO Habanero as opposed to Chipotle or whatever is just too spicy for a beer

Bottle. So this is an IPA with a bite. The heat creeps up on you and gives you a nice warm sensation in the belly.

355ml bottle, would have come from Brewdog pre sell out, circa 2015. Pours lightly hazed golden amber with an off white head. Aroma: citrus, pine, chilli pepper. Taste: light sweet, chilli dominant, some hoppy bitterness. Medium body, average car, warming spicy finish. The burn lasted a while!

Bottle. Enjoying the heat, it's quite full on but tastes good rather than just burning. Finding it a little tough to pick anything else out though. Maybe a bit of grassiness in the aroma. Maybe there is a bit of maltiness there. All in all, quite like it though.
