Nose has a soft hoppy profile with citrus and floral notes. Sweetness is there as well. This is a very smooth, integrated and subtle double IPA. The hop profile is tasty but understated with no one hop taste element standing out. Subtle malts as well. A nice enough drink, but I can’t find the 9.1% abv or 103 IBUs anywhere.

3$ can. Pours like lemonade, a little cloudy. Smell is a little off or farmy, but it is mild hop perfume. Also, even tho I don't like IPA, the taste of this seems to be off a little compared to most straight up IPA. Fairly decent carbonation. Maybe getting some chalk, maybe some fermenting green grass. Very odd for an IPA. In the middle it seems to be getting a little astringent. This phenolic feel is getting harder near the end. Oh well. There, you have it. Never really could get into these sixpoint brews, even from the very beginning. Not sure why.

Draught in Victory Philly: pours gold with white head. Aroma is limey, mostly just that. Taste is lime covering over a nondescript lager.

Opalescent to hazy golden colour, huge, dense and forever lasting ecru-ish white head; aroma of grassy, pine resiny, grapefruity, lemon zesty, and dough notes; taste of hoppy bitterness with pine resiny, orange peel oily and the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; great DIPA

16 oz can, best before Sept 25 2011, traded to me by JoeBeerBelly. Thanks Joe!

42 IBUs...this should be good, or not.

This pours a straw gold, slightly hazy, has a 1 finger head of foam with very few bubbles rising to the surface. Gorgeous lacing to boot...for some reason, this pour strikes me as a well poured draught beer.

It smells very Pilsener with a fairly meaty amount of malt and a well above average nose of hops...lots of citrus in that there smell. Very nice.

And the taste backs up the smell and then takes it up a notch. Solid malty backbone with a superb citrusy, somewhat piney flavour of hops that comes from the dry hopping. Some bits of grass as well. Good lord, this is one tasty son of a gun and I can't help but lift my glass way to often. Very crisp overall and dry, and superbly drinkable, and marvelous.

Okay, this one is hitting the spot like crazy. This has to be in the top 3 German Pilseners I've tried. Kudos to Sixpoint and kudos to Joe, but where's the reference to the "Sehr"(very, in German)?? ;^)

Update: This is a 12 ounce can from Brooklyn.

Canned. Didn't see the pour. Citrus, flavor, quick finish. Pretty good stuff for a lighter side beer
