I'm a huge Ballast Point fan and one of my favorites is Sculpin IPA and Grapefruit Sculpin, so damn good.

Cruised through the Kroger beer isle today and saw something new to me, Sam Adams Grapefruit IPA.  I'm not a big Sam Adams guy but figured I would give it a try and hopefully be surprised .



Nope. This was a bust. Weak hop flavor, real odd grapefruit taste. Nothing like Sculpin. C+ at best.  Disappointed

i was wondering about that one.

Did you see there is a pineapple Sculpin coming out soon?

SweetWater Bacon Smoked porter.  Pairs nicely with BBQ.

Last night I had a few of Restoration's Atlas IPA's



This brewery is less than 5 miles from my house so I really wanted to love this beer.

It was a tasty brew but lacked the heavier hop flavor and lessor malty flavor I like. It was ok. I gave it 3.75 on untappd

For those that like a lighter IPA, give this one a shot

Tonight I am testing a bomber IPA from Driftwood Brewery called Fat Tug

Driftwood is a new one to me. They are in Victoria, BC...which I have been too but didn't know this brewery was there at the time.

I have a big problem w this IPA and that is I only have one 22oz bottle. This is a rock solid IPA. Killer hop flavor, on the heavy side which I like. Touch of citrus   4.5 to me. I can't remember when I had a beer this good from Canada.

I agree with you @tcdawg on the Atlas.  Really wanted more from it.  Not enough to make me want to always have it in my fridge like I do with the Wicked Weed beers like @raisinheads Pernicious.  Love that beer.

Good sour from Burnt Hickory if you like that style.  Not overly sour.
