Let’s talk optics. The study of light, and the eyeball… aka the prism that sends images blasting through your dome like a movie projector. As technology advances, resolution increases, so we can see the bigger picture AND the finer details. We’re increasing the view -- in BOTH directions… Magnify the hop factor, amplify perception. Study the hop cone up close… this shiz is Hi-Resolution. We went microscopic; we got a grander view. Crack a HI-RES and widen your scope, both directions.
With massive amounts of late-addition, new-age hops, HI-RES magnifies juicy hop character to the limits of human perception, testing your palate’s ability to comprehend the tiny particles in hops, and the insane flavors they produce.

Draught. Clear copper red with creamy beige head, faint caramel aroma, low carbonation, caramel taste with resiny bitterness, alcohoil undertones, longish bitter finish. Strong and bitter but seems to have more caramel than hops.

Slim energy drink-like can split by 4 @ “Sir Goatie McGoat S&G Tasting”. Thank you Mathieu87 and/or PriorL! Dark orange, little white head. Nose is oddly sweet orange & candy sweet. Taste is cloying orange, sugar, candy, pine, massively sweet with resin. Malty body. Strange, overly cloying which really doesn’t suit it. Not the biggest fan.

Sixpoint signature skinny can poured. Clear oily golden pour with a laying fizz head. Caramel soft aroma that overpowers the hops. Boozy IPA, but it’s nice somehow. Warming feel to it. Caramel and booze. Sounds strange, but I enjoyed this.

Crisp light honey and blonde coloured body with a touch of copper and a nice, three centimetre tall tan head - very nice looking. Aroma of resin (duh), alcohol, bread, flowers and a bunch of unfinished sugars - nice and pungent throughout. Full-bodied; Strong alcohol and resin flavour with a big dose of pineapple, pine and grain, all with some caster sugar and a lot of syrup from canned fruit. Aftertaste shows a nice hop layering of tropical fruits and resin, but a bit too much alcohol and pungency and not enough malt complexity. Overall, a decent enough beer, but in a style like this, a tough one to break through, this is ho-hum. The only saving grace is the high alcohol can style that Six Point does, it’s nice to drink a beer like this on a train or somewhere that canning works better. I sampled this thin twelve ounce can purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 19-June-2015 for US$3,50 sampled at home in Washington on 22-July-2015.

Tall thin 12oz can courtesy of markwise pours with a crystal clear copper body that supports a nice full tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up malty sticky pine sap notes, some malt sweetened floral hops, a dash of grapefruit, a biscuit sort of maltiness and then a sliver of booze. The taste begins pretty smooth with malts and initial hints at the hoppiness. Then quickly resiny pine sap hoppiness and booze burst to the surface followed by some mild and sweet biscuit malts, grapefruit citrus hops and floral like hopiness. Pretty solid and the booze is there and that’s just fine for me for the style as this pushes the envelope some.

Can. Pours crystal cleary golden orange, large creamy off-white head that dissipates slowly with nice lacing. So far so good. Aroma is pine, spruce, citrus, some dankness. Flavor is medium sweet, full on bitter, resinous, some citrus and sugary biscuit. Medium body, oily. This is a beast with a harsh harsh finish that starts enjoyable and ends hard to swallow.
