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.

Not bad, definitely nails the vibe of an old-school West Coast IPA. Moderate notes of grapefruit pith, melon, and some papaya, and the finish is a healthy dose of pine underlined by hints of caramel and mandarin. Manageable but firm bitterness on the fade.

I like Six Point generally, Anti-Resin appears to be not as popular as others. As always, the tall, thin can is cool. The pour into my globe glass is a straw-lemon, hazy body with a quickly thinning head of fully white foam. Nice nose, tangerine with a minimal amount of pine. The taste is not up to the level of the scent. Grapefruit without the bitterness, hops, astringence, unsweet honeydew, hay and white bread. A head scratcher, what does it want to be?

3 month old can A: Thickly hazed pale gold with 1 of long lasting thick foam. S: Citrus notes, peach, a bit of pineapple and herbs over crackers. T: Same fruity aspects from the nose but heavier herbal, floral, sweet and even vegetal notes. Lightly bitter, woody and tart to balance. M: Medium light body, smooth creamy texture and low carbonation. O: Not quite sweet, tropical, bready or boozy. Not bad but typical of this played out style.

Top 50? 12 oz. tall skinny can from Total Wine. Pours a semi-clear deep gold color with a tight khaki head and great retention. Good lacing. Almost no aroma. Maybe a little yeast? The taste is hard to define too. The wheat is very light, with a light yeasty finish. Smooth and somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Medium-light body. Overall, well made, but nothing exciting.

A tall, skinny 12 oz can bought last month at Total Wine in Ft. Worth, time is right to sample. I am mostly a fan of Sixpoint even though their emphasis on ipas is not shared by me. The can says IIPA, no argument from me. A tulip glass is handling all the tastings tonight, not a problem. I determine a cloudy, lemon-orange body topped by a thin top of totally white foam. The smell is slightly dank, citrus and tropical. I take a drink, certainly a strong presence of hops, pineapple, grapefruit, straw and white bread. A throwback bitterness to go with the fruitiness. Pretty good imo. And I do like the cool can.

12 oz skinny can from Colleen, thanks! Consumed 12/18/21. Best by March 22, 2022. Murky orange color, white head, strong lace. Dank, pine, resin, grapefruit. Pretty much everything you'd expect. Drinks a little boozy. Solid overall.

Both aromas and flavors are a little bit of guava and pineapple. Don't pick up passion fruit anywhere. Body is a touch on the thin side. Flavor is mainly sweet with a hint tart. Some medicinal in the finish.
