What does wet-hopping mean? It’s adding freshly harvested hops to beer in their natural form (not ground and pelletized), which can only happen at one point every year.
Admin Note: Citra version was brewed in 2011 and 2012.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of some generous trader. Another unfortunate brew that got lost in the back of my parent’s refrigerator. Oh yeah, here goes. Cloudy, reddish orange appearance with a big, bubbly, tan head. Quite spicy, ginger, somewhat piney, toasty malty aroma. Caramel, pumpkin, ginger, richly piney hoppy, toasty malty flavor. Not bad.

Canned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy pale amber, mid sized head. Aroma of tangerine and gooseberry. Medium bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Perfumy and mid sweet with minty tangerine hops and the slightest touch of ginger. Mid bitter finish.

Can shared by HopasaurusRex, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a deep copper color with a decent sized off white head with decent retention. Smells of grapefruit, mangos, juicy tropical fruit, ginger, and some weird unidentifiable spice. Little to no malt shows up in the aroma and there’s a curious lack of pumpkin in there as well. Taste is resinous, tropical fruity, citrusy hops blended with ginger and what I assume are pumpkin pie spices. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a resinous, slick mouthfeel. I’m not a big fan of pumpkin ales and since this one doesn’t taste like pumpkin I think its pretty good. Very hoppy with an odd addition of ginger that works with the citra hops pretty well. This is my new go to pumpkin-less pumpkin beer.

Yay, another mediocre beer from Sixpoint. +++ Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a huge creamy orange-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was strong floral and earthy hops with a nutty undertone. The flavor was strongly bitter with floral and harsh fruity hops and moderate resin. The hops completely overpower any pumpkin or spice save for a sour, tangy and off malty undertone. The finish was long, sour, tangy and hoppy. Medium body. Eh.

16oz can pours a hazy, burnt Texas orange with a frothy, lacing white head. Aroma is nice, mixes earthy hops and fall vegetables, pine, a little wet soil, dried leaves, maybe just a touch of spice. Flavor has some nice noble hop bitterness, lemons, a little soap, some sweetness, carrots, roasted squash, very light brown sugar. Medium bodied with a rounded bitter finish. A nice take on the fall beer style. Definitely not a wet hopped IPA but it’s also not a standard Spice/Herb/Veg either.

Slightly hazy bronze and copper coloured body with a thick, dense, but rather soapy off-white head that leaves a horribly ugly lace. Aroma of tons of fresh hops, a touch of light malt, caramel, toffee and some light alcohol - but the hops really come out in the smell! Medium-bodied; Assertive hoppiness at first with a good dose of malt and some clean, soapy type tastes with a little alcohol and a bit of toffee. Aftertaste is mostly a dry hop note with some oak and a little floral flavours, but the soapy almost pervasive cleanser type taste gets pretty bad actually. Overall, pretty well done, but not great, and the soapy, astringent flavour gets in the way of a great beer. I sampled this sixteen ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 09-October-2011 for US$2.49 sampled at home in Washington on 23-October-2011.

From the other beers I’ve had from this company, I was expecting something big and bold. However, even with its near 7%, there was very little rudenss. On tap at the Bocktown Monaca. Smell is just barely hoppy floral. The initial taste does have some of that octoberfest feel in it. However, it also has some kind of odd unidentifyable backbone in there, maybe leather maybe something else. . I guess this is what makes it a sixpoint. Finish is not bad, somewhat medium bitter ending.
