Even Keel is a pretty good usually cheaper Ballast Point IPA that only has about 4% alcohol so it's pretty good for those applications.
The only beer I've had from them so far that was moderately disappointing was the Yellow Tail Pale Ale (Kolsch) it was just kind of boring not a bad example of the style. I'd like to see what they could do with a Pilsner.

Speakeasy's Big Daddy IPA is interesting. Starts supermalty, but finishes smooth and dry. Not really my thing, but it's enjoyable.

its worth it
It is a similar price everywhere. I think my store has Sculpin at $15, but it is a great beer. My favorite Ballast Point beer is the Victory at Sea. It is absolutely in my top 5 all time favorite beers and well worth the price tag.
Have you tried Indra Kunindra? (Edit: nevermind, I saw your list) I've been wanting to try both the Victory at Sea and Indra Kunindra, Glad you liked it.
I haven't had the Indra Kunindra. If I ever see it I definitely will try it (though I don't know if I'll like a curry beer). And the Victory at Sea is spectacular. It is well worth the price tag.

Please. I was at someone's house watching the game. It was provided. And I am certainly not
that guy that brings his craft beer to a party while everyone else drinks the free stuff. If you say you are
that guy, skitch, we need to revisit our relationship.

I drink the Summit Saga all the time. It's a simple quality IPA at a relatively low price. The EPA is pretty good too. They aren't special beers by any means, but they are solid.

I just also grabbed the Ballast Point Dead Ringer (their Oktoberfest) for the first time. I'm excited to give it a try.

I am having one right now. Pretty tasty. Would drink again. Spreading my beer wings is fun.

That's awesome man. Summit is the taste of St. Paul. Glad you're enjoying it!

But, I still have not had a BP beer. And, I'm not sure why. Maybe a slight annoyance that they think they deserve a $5+ upcharge over other very good beers. Anyway, I will remedy that soon.
Phat - rank your BP beers.
Of what I've had:
Victory at Sea
Sculpin
Big Eye
Even Keel
Grapefruit Sculpin
Calm Before the Storm
I've now had the Dead Ringer (Oktoberfest). It's a solid beer, but not my favorite. I think my tastes in general have evolved away from Octoberfest style beers though. This is of no fault to Ballast Point.
Updated List:
Victory at Sea
Sculpin
Big Eye
Even Keel
Grapefruit Sculpin
Dead Ringer
Calm Before the Storm
