Description
Sixpoint was founded in 2004 (we like to say it was born at the dawn of civilization, though that’s a story for another time…) in the rough and tumble neighborhood of Red Hook, BKLYN. It was essentially a cult brewery — draft-only, mysterious, cryptic…

In 2010 we released our canned creations, and have been tweaking, improving, and releasing new formulations ever since. Then in May of 2017, we took our biggest step forward to date, releasing all of our ales raw and unfiltered, and simultaneously incorporating new and incredible raw materials obtained over years of sourcing.

In November 2018, Sixpoint was acquired by Artisanal Brewing Ventures.

Fairly clear light gold pale beer. Nose is plain old lager with a tad of citrus in the background. First taste is a lager based beer with some citrus added to it. Mind you, I said it was lager but this may be an insult to the pale american lager as a style. First off, this is styled as a pale lager here on RB, but probably should be in some other style, like a fruited beer er sumthin. In the middle a tad of bitter green grapefruit astringentness sets in, quite undesirable. Yes, there is some citrus in there, but I'm not sure if it actually adds to or distracts from the rude pale lager within. You know, even tho pale lager is the macro, it is very difficult for a craft brewer to make a decent example of it. It is very difficult to find a domestic 'craft' brewer who can make an acceptable american style lager with any civility.

Can, from Whole Foods, Manhattan. Pours cloudy lemon yellow with a small foamy whitish head, citrus-pineapple aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel-pineapple taste, thin smooth body, long finish. Very smooth and easy to drink despite the high alcohol content.

From Beer Drop, best by March 5th 2024.

It pours a clear gold with a finger of foam, plenty of lacing.

The smell is cloves, cinnamon, some citrus.

The taste is wacky. Cloves and cinnamon with some citrus and,to me, there's no harmony in the flavours.

Medium bodied.

Not for me.

Can, from Trader Joe's, Manhattan. Pours faintly cloudy lemon yellow with a very small frothy off-white head, sharp citrus peel-mango aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter citrus peel taste with sharp mango flavor and faint alcohol undertones, thin body, long citrus-mango finish. I'm not very comfortable with the very sharp mango flavor.

12oz can. Oh wow, this is really overspiced. Has some really undesirable flavors, I guess the clove and star anise are the main culprits. I had sort of already given up on Sixpoint and generally avoid their product but figured a Winter Lager was pretty safe. This is really something else. Bad.

Single from Lonestar, north of Dallas. Pint glass @home. Sticky, heady pour. Half hazy, dull pale gold. Lemon & lager nose with a tiny whiff of chilies. Lemon, ale, black pepper, back throat of chili, not really getting the honey. Basic bitch base beer. Thin but malty. Honey didn't add any texture(not enough honey?). Almost wtf flat. I could do this with more bubbles. Not as is.

Sweet spice nose. Pale & clear. Taste has lots of odd spice, almost biter veggie in nature. Different and difficult yet interesting. Yea, that bitter veggie thing really comes out in an extended rude finish.
