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.

Pours a hazy, light golden-yellow, with mid-sized, thick, lasting head. Aroma is a bit grassy, with some tropical and citrus notes. Flavor is tropical and citrus, with some pepper, grassiness, and pine/spruce hoppiness in the finish. I think I like regular Sculpin better.

From a 355ml bottle on 19/7/2018. Pours a slightly hazy medium golden with a big white head. The nose is primarily ripe fruit. The flavour features lots of sweet tropical fruit (pineapple passionfruit and the advertised guava. The hops are pretty firm and ever so slightly sour. medium bodied with moderate to average carbonation. Pretty good, but perhaps not quite up there with other versions the the Sculpin I've had.

Bottle 355ml (Alko web). Clear amber colour, small white head. Juicy pineapple, pine, citrus, mango nose. Medium-bodied. Piney, juicy, citrusy, fruity sweet flavour. Suprisingly this is neipa-inspired IPA. Another good and very good Sculpin.
