Not going to do a full review, as nobody really cares what I think anyway... but this is a nice beer.

Very bitter; there was a day not long ago that I couldn't have done this beer. But it has a ton of hop flavor, and a big time aroma. Some nice, sweet maltiness, too - which is of course drowned out by the hops.

Good stuff. 10% ABV, though... holy cow.

IMO, the original Sculpin is way better than any bastardized fruit version.  Have not had the curry beer but imagine it would be awful.

Indra Kunindra. I've had it a few times, it's certainly strange/unique, but I wouldn't say it was bad. It'd obviously pair nicely with Indian food.

If it wasn't $18 for a six pack of these, I'd be able to try more of them.  Ok, maybe they're not all that high (just Sculpin and its variants).  The only Dorado we get here is the Watermelon I believe.  How are the prices for BP beers, say in California?

They're still pretty stiff here, so don't think you're getting a raw deal :P

$15/6-pack is pretty standard here. For sculpin anyway.

Damn.  Sculpin is great, but I'd never buy 6 of them for the cost.  Too many other great beers that go for far less.
