12/9/15 - Poured into a Bootleggers tulip glass, pours a golden copper color with a small quickly disappearing head. Average carbonation and good lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine and hops. Not detecting any habanero on the aroma. Oh boy....it's definitely there on the taste! A lingering spiciness on the finish. Taste is grapefruit, spicy, bready and heat! I'm not a fan of hot spicy food but this beer isn't bad. For me, it's a slow drinker because of the heat, but it's very tasty. It's to spicy for an every day drinker, but I liked it.

Not for everyone; absolutely for me! The Sculpin IPA is amazing in and of itself; the habanero takes it to a dark rarely visited corner that I call deliciously extreme! Nose is more reminiscent of jalapeño but the taste has a sting that is unmistakably habanero. Leaves a lasting warm peppery after taste that makes this beer one of my favorites.

I like spicy foods. I enjoyed this beer but it's not something you would have on an every day thing. Starts with a good hop taste but then the habanero kicks in and overwhelms everything.

Spice was too pronounced for my liking. And I was sick.

Great hoppy beer. The habanero was a little hard to reconcile though. Not on my list.

Spicy food is a love/hate thing with me. But in my beer? no thanks. It's like drinking a bottle of habernero hot sauce rather than beer. Good try but next!

Good IPA with what tastes like a dollop of Texas Pete dumped in. Problem is the spice cancels out sculpins nice bittering hops. Interesting mix but, like others have said, no more then one please.
