No one in their right mind would dispute it being... TOTALLY RADICAL. Sixpoint Rad is a unique blend of fruit juices with ale to create the original summer crusher. The first Sick Liquid form the Mad Scientists’ Laboratory - a refreshing take on what beer can be.

Location: Can from a grocery store, 8/14/16

Aroma: The aroma is tart grapefruit over some underlying wheat beer notes
Appearance: It pours a kind of ugly, murky pink-orange color with a rocky off-white head
Flavor: The taste is tart and sweet at the same time, grapefruit juice-like, with some beer hints
Palate: The body is light, it drinks easy from the very low ABV, but too fizzy
Overall Impression: This one can't be sessionable for my taste, because it is just too fizzy and not a flavor I really enjoyed. I'm not sure if it isn't good or if it just isn't for me...

Very overripe apricot and lemon zest on the nose, a bit vegetal. Cloudy amber, thin head. Tart apricot and grapefruit. Grapefruit is dominant. Quaffable and refreshing. I didn’t like the flavor all that much, it wasn’t very beery, but it hit the spot after a vigorous game of tennis.

A hazed orange beer with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet grapefruit juice with light caramel notes. In mouth, nice grapefruit juice, with light malt, that’s it. Can at Coney Island on tap.

Looks like a mix of orange and grapefruit juice. Smells like orange juice mixed with beer. Tastes like orange juice mixed with beer. Body is like orange juice mixed with beer.

16 oz can poured into a nonic pint glass. Cloudy orange grapefruit juice color with off-white head that fades rapidly as the beer is poured. Aromas of yeast and some slight funkiness, grapefruit. Tastes of grapefruit flesh and rind, yeast and some light funk. Medium-light body with a semi-dry and tart finish. Juicy mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Not my favorite radler but a decent attempt.

From a 12 oz bottle at the Beer Head BBQ in Falls Church VA. Pours a cloudy orange with an off white head. Orange nose. A mix of sweet and tart grapefruit and mandarin orange flavors. Crisp finish.

Can sample. Thanks Ariel. Muddy pinkish-orange color. Aroma of mixed fruits juice (citrus, something tropical), some wheat and esters. Sweet and tart fruits flavor (orange, grapefruit and more. peach maybe?) with a faint bitterish grapefruit finish. Rather light-bodied. Refreshing.
