If you drink any amount of American IPAs, you can probably flesh out a citrusy test from the hops. All this does is build upon that.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Yup.

Grapefruit is a characteristic of some hops (some go the piney route, others a more citrus route). If you are a fan of the citrus sytle (which I prefer), then the Sculpin Grapefruit should be up your alley. It's not like super grapefruity or anything, like Ruddo said, it just builds upon that.

I had one last night, it was really good. It followed a Two Hearted though, and I still prefer that, but Sculpin might be my second favorite IPA.

Yup. I tend to gravitate towards IPAs with Citra and / or Centennial hops, and /or Cascade hops.

Speaking of citrus-y IPA's... I had some Deschutes Fresh-Squeezed IPA last night. Wow. Really really good.

Also tried both Upland and Lagunita's IPA, but the Deschutes overshadowed everything else.

I hope I can get this stuff back home, but I don't think I can.

I'd put Deschutes up there with Bell's and Founders.

I liked it as much as Two Hearted or All Day, so yeah, that is probably my new top-3.

I like deschutes to be sure. but other than abyss, mirror mirror (which is vastly underrated), and maybe the dissident, it's a pretty underwhelming brewer.

they just named a pretty decent-looking chick as their head brew master though.

Black Butte is fantastic. I think it's as good as Founders' porter, which seems to get a lot more hype.

Yeah, but being a head brewer gets her a +2 on a one-out-of-ten scale, so that's OK. Head brewer ... is that some kind of innuendo? Cuz that'd be another +1.

I had a blonde stout tonight that was very good. Tons of malty, espresso flavors. Love this brewery so fucking much.

Was it actually blonde in color? Never seen that. Sounds interesting

Yes. Somewhere between a pale ale and an amber.
