Ballast Point Aloha Sculpin Hazy India Pale Ale. 7% ABV, 70 IBU. Ballast Point Brewing, San Diego, CA. "Juicy Tropical Notes from Brux Trois yeast."
Lightly hazy, bright golden hued, slimmed down ivory head. Looking' alright.
In the nose: Tropical fruit aromatics. Pineapple. Guava. Etcetera. Maybe mango. And still, a lot of hoppiness. Nicely bitter.
In the mouth: Bright and fruity, bold and bitter. Juicy. Medium bodied, long, hoppy finish. Tasty. Hey, this is alright. Good ol' IPA, and there ain't nothing wrong with it.
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.
