Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin
IPA - 7% ABV

     This was pretty disappointing. I mean, I knew it would be spicy, but I figured that would be a nice edge. You really just can't taste anything else, and it leaves you with a solid burn in the back of your throat.

Ballast Point Hazy Sculpin
New England IPA - 7% ABV
Pete
     Pictured 2nd from the left. Pretty darn good hazy IPA. Lighter body than most, but has all the citrus flavors.

Ballast Point High West Barrel Aged Victory At Sea 2017
Imperial Porter - 12% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the right. Pretty light body for a dark beer. Heavy on the bourbon, and I have no complaints about that.

IPA - 7.5% ABV

     Pictured on the right. Fine beer. Doesn't blow you away.

Ballast Point Mango Even Keel
Session IPA - 3.8% ABV
Pete
     This has pretty big mango flavor going down, and a great hoppy finish. You could drink a ton of these pretty fast, and still wouldn't get that drunk.

Ballast Point Pale Ale
Pale Ale - 5.2% ABV
Pete
     This is a very good beer. Smooth, easy drinker. If you're on the west coast and want a beer that actually has some flavor but you could drink a lot of them quickly, get this one.

Ballast Point Peppermint Victory At Sea
Imperial Porter - 10% ABV
Pete
     This sounds like it would be great, but it just plain isn't. Maybe it's too strong to notice the peppermint, maybe it's more peppery than minty. I don't know, but it's not good.

Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin
IPA - 7% ABV
Pete
     This is a good IPA with a hint of sweetness going down. I'm not sure I would've known it was pineapple if it wasn't right there on the bottle. This beer is a bit dangerous, as it'll go down real fast and is pretty strong.

Ballast Point Piper Down
Scottish Ale - 5.8% ABV
Pete
     This is a very, very malty beer. If you like that sort of thing, this is a beer for you. It also tastes almost boozy, which is strange, because it's not very strong. Really, this just isn't my kind of beer.
