Not bad but not great - wish I’d ordered the Sculpin instead! At $14 a bottle here I’m glad I got it at happy hour prices but still crazy pricing!

This has been relaunched as an IPA. Very clean and drinkable at 6.0% ABV. As close to a “session” IPA as I’m interested in. Pure grapefruit peel with a nice bitter finish.

Actually had it on draft - definitely had hints of orange/vanilla, but subtle and tasty.

Variation on Ballast Point's IPL, India Pale Larger, very nicely done, the orange and vanilla are present, just not the dominating flavors, I tend to enjoy this a little more, especially when it warms up slightly, the orange and vanilla come out more, very good, very good in the style, if you are like me and not a big fan of the larger style, I think you will enjoy this, the hops cover that typical grainy yeast you get with lagers
