Poured slightly cloudy orangish in color with a nice off white sticky head that left great lacing on the glass. Aroma is very piney and floral with a nice sweetness to back it up. Tastes of sweet american hops, grapefruit, piney, resin, with a nice caramel malt backbone. Very fantastic and drinkable IPA.

This one was a bit travelled and I will definitely try it again and re-rate it fresh. fruity aromas and flavours, more diverse than the standard citrus/pine US IPA and nice underlaying maltiness. arminjewell (150), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 22, 2009 Huge fruit/lemon nose, pours nice off yellow with off white head. Smells of depp citrus hops, and taste is complex. Upfront is mango, lemon, apricot, and orange with a quick blast that leads into a slight bittering aftertaste. Excellent IPA, unlike any other! smith4498 (921), Miami, Florida, USA

| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 8, 2009 Let me start by saying, this could be my favorite IPA of all time. I was lucky enough to score a 1/6 bbl of this stuff for me draft system, and boy does it go quick. Pale golden, somewhat orange in color, with very little lacing, disappearing in minutes. The taste is all citrus; grapefruit, apricot, and melon flavors, with plenty of acidity. Hops are all there, and a good amount of crisp bite. The drinkability of this beer is like no other, every time I put the glass down, my mind thinks to automatically grab for another gulp. There are very few IPA’s out there that can match Sculpin.

Cooper body with good head a sugar coat of lace. Dry citrus hop with some sugary malt. Not much to say just good, cool and crisp on palate. lamas (730), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 6, 2009 22 oz. bottle courtesy of agl108. Pours a hazy gold with a smallish off-white head. A powerful aroma of grapefruits, apricots, peaches, lemons, and resiny pine. Medium-bodied and sticky. Tongue-strippingly harsh. There is a touch of caramel upfront taste-wise, but the flavor is predominantly hoppy. Loads of grapefruits, apricots, and peaches in the mix. A bit of warming alcohol throughout. Quite tasty.
