About
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.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head and decent retention. Light lacing. Orange rind aroma. The taste follows the nose: Orange rind flavor leads the way with a lightly spiced finish. More of a fruit beer than a winter warmer. And not very beery. Smooth and clean. A decent beer soda. Light body. Medium carbonation. No bitterness.

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.

Pours amber with a thick white head. Aroma of malt, some citrus oils. Plenty of hops oils, some pine, more lemongrass. Palate is slightly resinous, some more pine. Good.

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
