Ballast Point Brewing

IPA·United States·7% ABV·One of 382 IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Pineapple Sculpin's tropical and hoppy character. Born from one of many small-batch cask experiments: what if Sculpin's tropical hops met sweet, juicy pineapple? The pineapple sweetness balances the citrus, pine and tropical hop notes of the original, and the mix of fruit and hop intensity still packs a punch. A 7% IPA, brewed year-round in cans and on draft.
