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.

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.

Pours a hazy yellow orange from a can. Big malty aroma has a fair amount of nondescript citrus. Similar flavor. Good beer.

Pours a hazy yellow from a can. Not much of an aroma, maybe a little lemon. Similar flavor, a little malty. Okay beer.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a cloudy chestnut brown with minimal white head and good lacing. There is an aroma of sweet fruits with hints of caramel. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with malts being the dominant flavour. However, there are also traces of citrus, spices, floral hops and nuts – if you search for them. Finish is quite fruity. An inoffensive little number. PS the bar described this as a cream ale, which I think is more accurate.

12oz can. Not really hopped like a haze bomb, but at least in the general direction with a nice hop combination. Unfortunately the beer is pretty weak, and the hops are faded and stale. Unimpressive.

Wegmans can. Golden, hazy, floaties. Peach and passionfruit... there's not supposed to be peach here but damn, that's peach in the aroma. Passionfruit and guava, sweet tart - ahh nice... then is ruined by lactose. There was no reason to add lactose to this other than being trendy. It may have been a really nice beer had it been left out.

Wegmans can. Hazy to nearly murky gold with a soft off-white head. Nose is tropical fruit, citrus, floral/perfumey hops, honey. Bitter citrus, indiscernible tropical fruit flavors, canned fruit salad, honey. Fine, nothing exciting.

12 oz slim can. NYC Pale Ale, 5% ABV. Aroma is citrusy, grainy, cantaloupe. Pours slightly hazy cantaloupe orange with a one+ finger cream-white head with excellent retention. Taste is lightly bitter with significant candy sweetness. I wish this was fresher--I'm sure I would have given it a higher score.
