Ballast Point Big Eye IPA
It really pains me to have give my opinion about an American craft beer that I know isn’t fresh. Of course this is more prevalent when dealing with an American IPA. I also have to say that this beer was picked up by a colleague while on business in Arizona; I probably would have asked how fresh the beer was before purchasing. Nevertheless I cannot thank him enough for picking me up some American craft beer on his dime. Thanks Tim.
I have had beers from Ballast Point Brewing Company in the past and have been quite satisfied with their efforts. When choosing Big Eye IPA for beer number 279 I was had high hopes.
In keeping this short, I will say that I want to try this beer again (I had two bottles and was hoping one was fresh) and will keep my comments to myself until that time. Enjoy!
