…how did we end up in this situation?
Plenty of blame to go around for sure, but we’re going to have to formulate our way out of this mess. Beer climates change, seasons creep but the liquid must remain cyc. Hey man, it is all about the %*@#ing formulation. Now that’s Mad Science.
In a converted garage laboratory in BKLYN, a glint of brazen red beer was created to melt down winter beer as we know it. GLOBAL WARMER harnesses the natural deliciousness of beer’s essential ingredients, in a raw, unfiltered formulation designed to beat back raging storm clouds. It's a different sort of winter beer for a changing globe.

Draught at Apex, Portland, as Sixpoint Global Warmer India Red Ale, 6% ABV
Amber color, hazy. Nice hop aroma, the expected fruit and resins, but also a bit minty. Good body strength, some malt and caramel flavor, moderate sweetness, balanced by a robust resiny hopping.
Fails to impress, but it’s a good beer.

can - Pours copper with a one finger head. It smells of citrus and pine accented hops. The bitterness is at IPA levels. It’s balanced by a tasty caramel malt backbone. Medium bodied. I very much enjoyed it.

12 oz. single, $2 from Lemon Tree. Big citrus and pine hop nose, check. Fluffy head over a cloudy amber body… what the brewer intended, I dunno. Big hop up on top when I taste it, oh yeah. Big again on pine resin, with backing of pomegranate. Hard to resist taking it all down at once, despite the bitterness.

Can: Hoppy orange peel, grapefruit, and pine aroma, good strength. Hazy copper, thick yellow head. Tinny, grapefruit peel and pine needle flavor. Medium body, not overly bitter, alcohol very well masked. A nice IPA, not seeing why this is classified amber but Sixpoint is hard to pinpoint.

Can (Best before March 27, 2014) poured into a tulip. Pours a hazy dark brownish orange color with almost 2 fingers of off-white head. Good bit of sediment floating around. Good lacing as the head fades at an average pace. Aromas of piney hops, caramel, citrus, biscuit. Tasting notes of pine/resin, citrus, caramel, piney hops, biscuit/pretzel, light floral and spiced notes. Medium carbonation, light malty mouthfeel. Medium body, semi-dry finish. Drinks sort of like an amber/IPA hybrid.
