We were sixty feet underground when the beer came calling.
While sinking tankards in ancient beer caves near the foot of the Alps, inspiration struck — and at that exact moment, THE CRISP was born. The can in your hand turns obsession to reality. Now that’s Crisp.
We went to Germany for this one. (Well went back really: we first devised this beer while counting yeast cells in a German lab, and sinking liters in underground caves.) Anyway, when it comes to German hops, American breweries get the leftovers… the less desirable plots, amalgamated into a “hop sausage.” Instead, at Sixpoint we go straight to the source for the prime cuts — the Tettnanger and Hallertau hops in THE CRISP are sourced 100% directly from farmers in Tettnang, Germany. This way we personally select what goes into our beers.
Tettnang and Hallertau Hops, 100% sourced directly from Germany, give THE CRISP that signature floral aroma. Cargill Pilsner Malt is the backbone, and helps make the finish snappy and clean.
Legit pilz has a hop aroma that leaps from the glass — THE CRISP blasts you with a huge floral aroma, but finishes crisp, clean, and refreshing.

(Can) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, slightly hoppy nose with notes of white bread, orange, honey and herbal hops. Malty, hoppy taste with white bread, lemon peel, herbs and a balanced grassy/citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, dry. Tasty, clean and ... well ...crisp. Quite nice.

Tribute to the old pale standard lager by this Brooklyn-based craft brewery, thanks SterV for sharing! Stable, snow white, moussy head, clear old gold coloured robe with lively sparkling - looks fine, though a bit darker and more traditionally Pilsener-like than industrial pale lager-like. Aroma has a weird perfumey aspect to it reminiscent of jasmin flowers of even bath foam, next to breakfast cereals, soggy chicken food, pomelo juice, grass, violets, camomile, sugarcorn. Sweetish, cereally main flavour, rounded and a tad soapy with minerally carbonation effects, elegantly bitterish in the finish with a citrusy and very floral, almost violet-like aromatic quality to it. Interesting, quenching, elegant and surprisingly aromatic interpretation of the blandest beer style in the world, I could easily drink another one and even enjoy it.
