Grapefruit Sculpin Recipe

This is our normal Ugly Fish IPA that you know and love but with grapefruit flavoring included. Add the flavoring just prior to bottling or kegging and you'll have a great fruity IPA to enjoy.

Contrary to its name, Ugly Fish IPA is actually one of the most beautiful beers we have to offer! Designed as a clone of the highly sought-after Ballast Point Sculpin®IPA, the Ugly Fish IPA is a hop masterpiece. This beer starts with a very clean bitterness from Warrior® hops, and finishes with a beautiful blend of Cascade, Simcoe®, and Chinook late additions. With almost 10 ounces of hops, the Ugly Fish IPA is definitely a hop forward beer, but does have a solid malt profile that stands up to those hops and helps to keep it reasonably balanced.

If you're looking to treat your taste buds to a beer that we think has been hopped perfectly, we highly recommend the Ugly Fish IPA!

Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.

About to order my second kit. Very refreshing grapefruit aftertaste , but I will add a second half ounce bottle grapefruit flavoring next time. First taste was after a month in the bottle. After two months in the bottle, there was less grapefruit aftertaste, but still enjoyable. 6.9% ABV. Refreshing, delightful and not heavy.

Fantastic! This was the second brew I ever did. We forgot to add the wort chiller so the boil was extended and ended up under 5 gallons, and as a result overshot gravity and ended up at about 8% ABV. However I went on to win first place in a small 10 beer contest against seasoned all grain brewers! You will NOT regret this purchase!

Love this beer. Perfect for a summer time kick back and drink one or two. I have a young couple who has asked me to make this for their wedding

I only used 1/2 the grapefruit extract and thought it was to much at first but it mellowed in time. I might only use 1/4 or none at all next time. But, I loved the combination and it is a great beer to make.
