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.

On tap at Central NJ Beerfest at Mercer County Park. Bright amber color. Frothy beige head. Big spicy malt aroma is redolent of cinnamon, clove and orange peel. Flavor is more of the same. Added notes of star anise and toasted malt.

Pretty hazy, very light golden coloured body with a straw-like glow and a very thick, four to five centimetre tall off-white head that's microfoamed and leaves a strong lace. Aroma of resin (of course), pineapple, alcohol, light grain, a dash of pepper and quite a bit of flowers - pretty strong in the nose in a nice way. Medium-bodied; Pretty rich resinous and dry, grassy notes show at first with a lot of fresh hoppiness that isn't entirely bitter (sort of a blend of old and new school hops), but is very resinous and pretty fruity. Aftertaste is crisp, dry, showing some floral, perfume and very grassy qualities, but a nice support from malt, with a light sweetness from subdued fruits that give a good balance throughout and seemingly less (around 7,5 per cent-ish) alcohol than advertised. Overall, a nice, fragrant and fruity beer that has some hop bitterness, but more of a crisp, dryness from those same hops with a little pineapple and lot of resin. Great to try fresh and local-ish! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Orlando (Lake Buena Vista), Florida (Store #004) on 30-April-2022 for US$5,09 with a 'best by of Sep 8th 2022' on the bottom of the can and sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-May-2022.

Very hazy deep orange and glowing copper coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely and leaves a thick lace on the sides, all above the 85 per cent opaque body. Aroma of white grape juice, alcohol, metal, a bit of malt and a bunch of herbal and resin notes. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich deep and pretty astringent malt notes show at first with a slight dose of citrus fruits, grapefruit and flowers at the end, but the alcohol is here as well and warms up the finish nicely. Aftertaste is crisp, very robust, quite bitter from the hops, but also very complex - enjoyable throughout and balanced nicely with malt, hops (of course) and sugars, too. Overall, a 'real' Imperial IPA that hits the marks nicely throughout and brings bitterness from the hops, with a bunch of malts, fruit notes and finishes with both some sugar and alcohol burn - nice from SixPoint and recommended if you can find it! I sampled this thin, twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 29-November-2021 for US$2,79, with a 'best by' date of 27-March-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-May-2022.

Hoppy mango beer. The mango hand was a little overplayed. Not bad. These guys can sometimes hit it out of the park other times stumble and fall. Oh well.
