Ballast Point Sculpin
This quintessential American IPA presents a vibrant tapestry of West Coast hop character. The aroma is an immediate explosion of tropical and stone fruits, specifically highlighting ripe apricot, succulent peach, and juicy mango, balanced by a sharp lemon citrus edge. Despite its assertive hopping across five separate stages, the malt profile remains clean and supportive, allowing the complex fruit notes to take center stage. On the palate, a crisp, lighter body enhances the hop-forward profile, delivering a firm, refreshing bitterness that provides a lingering, signature sting on the finish. It is a bright, gold-medal-winning example of the style, defined by its clean fermentation and refreshing complexity.
Appearance. Medium gold to deep yellow (6-8 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of mango, apricot, peach, and bright lemon. Low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness provides a subtle background. Fermentation is very clean with negligible esters beyond the hop-derived fruitiness.
Taste. Intensely hoppy initial impression, bursting with mango, peach, and lemon zest. Bitterness is firm and assertive (70 IBU), balanced by a low, clean, crackery malt base. The fermentation profile is exceptionally clean, leading to a dry, crisp finish with a long-lasting, resinous, and fruity hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
