Draft. An ale with lots of hops and such going on. Drinkable I guess. Nothing else to say.

Growler - turbid orange beer, with a soapy lace that never quite kicks into a full head - the aroma has the expected hop explosion I’ve come to expect from Sixpoint, but the use of PNW hops gives it a kind of citrusy, California IPA kind of smell (very grassy and herbal, with an almost acidic citrus character), along with faint bready and yeasty aromas - medium carbonation, and quite full-bodied for the style - the scottish ale yeast does lend a marked british character to the beer, mostly in the form of a biscuity finish - beyond that, this is standard Sixpoint in top form - a mouth-watering hop combination that works really well with the malts, neither one really asserting dominance - a little bit spicy, with oranges and a touch of strawberry - it is very much like Bengali Tiger, which is not a bad thing at all - very nice indeed.
