Ballast Point Grunion Pale Ale

Our Grunion Pale Ale wasn’t born on a beach, but in a backyard. Originating from an employee-only home brew contest, this award-winning hoppy pale ale is named after the tiny local fish known for late night frolics on shore. A pair of new hop varieties lend strong yet balanced summer melon aromas and herbal flavors, while a soft caramel malt sweetness holds it all together.

2.5 Besk

3.9 Lätt fruktig med medel beska.

3.6 Karmel, grejpfrut, sosna. Klasycznie po amerykańsku. Nic nie przeszkadza, ciało obfite. Jest fajnie.

3.4 Can 355 ml enjoyed at P & C's cottage in Lillhärdal. Enjoyed straight from the can. Hoppy with tropical fruit, citrus and caramel.

3.6 Dåse. Orange klar øl med et fint skumhoved. Duften er citrus let grape old school pale ale. Smagen er frisk bitter, igen let grape, igen old school. Fin øl.

3.5 Gyllengul klar vätska med tjockt och fluffigt skum. Dofter av krusbär, citrus.

2.8 Gyllengul vätska. Härlig fruktig doft. Humlig, besk, söt smak som påminner om godis.

3.4 Lata as "Ballast Point Grunion IPA"- Clear like nice deep golden colour, fair medium white head. Fruity hop in aroma, sweet like, exotic fruits, citrus. Good palate. Fruity citrus exotic fruity hoppiness dominates the bitter flavour, sweet and fruity, maltiness underneath, rather drowned in the hops.

4.0 Friskt, gott, humligt! Läskande!

3.1 Flaska från SB. Dimmig orange öl med ett gulvitt skum. Doft och smak av Persika,passionsfrukt och lättare tallbarrstoner.

3.7 Can.Dark orange colour with medium head.Aroma of fresh hops and citrus mango and orange peel nice dry crispy with medium body and mild finish.

3.8 Can. 5.5%. Best before 08.20. As ’Ballast Point Grunion IPA’. Pours a bit hazy deep golden/light amber, with an off-white/yellowish head. Some lacing. Juicy, citrus/orange, a bit tropical, aroma. Zesty note as it warms. Further warming brings out a light rubber note. Flavour is bitter, a bit liquorice-y, with citrus, tropical fruits. Slightly overripe as it warms, as well as a remote zesty hint. Rather bitter hop finish, with more (and a bit more outspoken) liquorice. Mild alcohol burn. Overall pretty good. Nothing extraordinary, but well-made and -balanced, and the liquorice-y bitterness adds a nice touch. 23.12.19.
