The Sculpin IPA is a testament to our humble beginnings as Home Brew Mart. Founded in 1992, the Mart continues to be a catalyst for the San Diego brewing scene, setting the trend for handcrafted ales. Inspired by our customers, employees and brewers, the Sculpin IPA is bright with aromas of apricot, peach, mango and lemon. Its lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hops. This delicious Ballast Point Ale took a Bronze Medal at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival in the Pro Am category. The Sculpin fish has poisonous spikes on its fins that can give a strong sting. Ironically, the meat from a Sculpin is considered some of the most tasty. Something that has a sting but tastes great, sounds like a Ballast Point India Pale Ale.

Golden colour with thin lacy head. Lots of toasted biscuity malts. Very rounded hop profile. A little resinous. Just the right level of bitterness.

35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Iets mistig oranje kleur, witte kraag. Licht harsig, grapefruit, citrus, licht bloemig, wat steenvruchten en sinaasappel, finish is fors bitter, blijft lekker lang hangen. Medium body. Hoop deze nog eens echt vers te kunnen drinken.

ON tap at Velocity Wings, Sterling VA. Golden in colour, with a tight, white, head. Tangerine and pineapple fruit citrus hops, some biscuity malts, a hint of pine and dry finish. Very good.
