I believe that Ballist Point does a well job of adding the flavor to their IPA with it not getting out of hand. I have yet to try the Pineapple...something fresh for the summer time.

Kind of beer related I guess. If true, with the amount of IPA I drink I should be damn near immortal by now.

I got a pack of the Grapefruit Sculpin. It's nice but I don't think anything special. I like the Watermelon Dorado better.

Pretty much what you'd expect by the description and any familiarity with the Bruery. Really enjoyed it, looking forward to the next bottle.

Not exactly beer related but my wife's first attempt at hopped mead is finally finished and it turned out awesome. It is triple hopped with citra, cascade, and centennial hops and finished with a dry hopping of cascade. Before the final bottling we weren't sure how it would turn out from tasting it, but the last couple months sitting in the bottles really rounded out the flavour and added the perfect amount of carbonation.
I'm taking the "Sculpin tour" lately. Even though one isn't really a sculpin but its kind of the same deal.
#1) Watermelon Dorado
#2) Pineapple Sculpin
#3) Grapefruit Sculpin
I doubt I'll try the Habanero one. Watermelon may be #1 because I got it on tap in my growler. The two sculpins were bottled.

I'm just not a fan of pepper beers. Especially since these sculpins are like $13 a 6 pack I don't want to buy it, try it out and then end up pouring half the bottles down the drain.
I also only got one Pineapple beer. My wife was fiending on them.

I would not have guessed that would be good, that's a ton of aroma hops. Great, now I'm curious.

I've had the Grapefruit one, and found it overpowering. "You know what this beer that tastes like a slightly piney grapefruit needs? A SHITLOAD MORE GRAPEFRUIT!!" But a lot of people love it.
Thats weird because my wife and I both agree that you can't taste the grapefruit *at all* in the beer. It just tastes like a straight IPA to both of us. The pineapple and the watermelon you get a very noticeable fruit accent to the flavor.

No judgement here, everyone has different tastes. A decade or more ago, in one of my first experiences with craft beer tasting, the brewer at the place asked me what I tasted in his IPA. I told him burning tire. He wasn't amused and I wasn't joking; I just hadn't developed the palate for IPA then. After working at it more, I clearly remember Deschutes Mirror Pond being the first pale I liked.
My taste in beer has come a long way since.
