With Aloha Sculpin, we used Brux Trois yeast to turn our award-winning IPA into a tropical oasis, with bright and refreshing notes of mango, pineapple and guava, along with a slight haze and smooth mouthfeel.

Can. An unclear dark golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, lemons, pine needles, hops, malt, and a bit of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of over ripe fruit, lemons, spices, pine needles, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. 8/1/8/3/16

Bottle from Joe's Wine and Liquor, Memphis. Fruity juicy aroma with lots of tropical fruits, grapefruit, orange, mango, passion fruit, and a soft malty & piney backbone. Flavour is mildly sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Another wonderful Sculpin variety. *** Re-rate, as Ballast Point Hazy Sculpin. Nicely tropical but piney as well, with grapefruit, mango, orange, pale malt. Bittersweetish.

Biscuit, honey, grapefruit nose. Clear amber, medium head, nice lace. Grapefruit, bread. Medium body, easy carbonation, resinous. Tasty IPA but misses the mark on the New England substyle.

(Bottle) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with lasting off-white head. Hoppy, fruity nose with apricots, orange marmalade, papaya, mango, grapefruit, pine needles and floral hops. Hoppy, fruity taste with notes of apricots, orange marmalade, papaya, mango, citrus, hints of nuts and a generous herbal/piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Really tasty and well made IPA. Very nice.
