I've been transitioning away from the bourbons, ryes, and
Scotches that winter “forces” me to drink. Last month, I talked about DC’s own
Green Hat Gin. This month, let’s get further into warmer weather drinks.
There’s nothing quite like sitting out in the sun and having
a nice beer.
My choice this spring so far has been San Diego’s Ballast Point
Sculpin IPA. This is a great example of a California IPA. Obviously, there are
hops, but these provide a grapefruit/citrusy edge to the beer. While the hops
add a bitterness to the beer, there’s enough malt in the mix to add just enough
sweetness to make this one of my favorite IPAs I've ever tasted.
