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.

Draught at Fette Sau as Righteous Rye. Mildly hoppy aroma, like a mixture of American and German hops. Cloudy dark brown colour. Very small tna head. The flavour starts off nicely roasted, then comes a mild aroma hoppiness. The finish is malty and roasted with a slightly strange tartness. Good nevertheless.

Draught at Fette Sau. Subtle buttery aroma. Cloudy golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is also slightly buttery. Has a good flowery aroma hop note. A bit too buttery, otherwise OK.

On tap at Stagshead. My great pumpkin discovery continues. This is a medium bodied slightly sticky brew. plenty of malt, some caramel, nutmeg, and pumpkin spice. OK.

Shaker pour @ Standings. Pours with a sticky lacing and a beautiful glowing orange/amber color. Aroma is tea and orange rind hop, which are awesome. However, the malt base comes off too burnt for me and I pick up some vegetal, unlikeable hops back there as well. Flavor has the same thing, mix of good hops with some bad vegetal hops and a burnt malt base. I like it but could use a little more work.

Had on draught a few times, most recently at the Ainslie Block Party. Pours a dark, muddy brown with a medium, tan-white head. Aroma has some nice, roasty malts, wood, spice and mild caramel. Flavor is sweet with more caramel and, doughy bread, rye spiceiness and some earthy bitters. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes with some light, burnt malts and lingering hops. A very good, dynamic beer.

Draught. Mild fruity aroma. Muddy dark amber colour. Small creamy white head. The flavour starts off with a good fruitiness, turning quite bitter. Hint of yeast in the finish. Low carbonation. Like a good, flavourful cask ale.

Tap at Rattle n Hum. Pours a cloudy, slightly glowing yellow with a pillowy, white head. Lots of fruit, yeast and wheat in the aroma. Flavor is sweet with good lemon notes and mild tartness. Light bodied with crisp, fine-bubble carbonation. Finishes crisp and refreshing with some lingering fruit and slight tartness.

Tap at Rattle n Hum. Underwhelmed here. Pours a copper orange, slightly hazy, with a medium white head. Earthy hop aroma with faint malts. Flavor is seriously bitter, but not in a good way. I would agree with some of the other comments here: abrasive, plastic. Piney, but like sap. It’s drinkable but not terrific. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes bitter with light sweetness. Needs some tweaking.

Location: Draft at Rattle 'N' Hum, 7/25/10

Aroma: Mostly chocolate and coffee malts on the nose
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with some lace
Flavor: Some sweetness in the flavor, roast, slightly bitter finish
Palate: Mouthfeel is rather smooth and creamy, medium (leaning light for the style) bodied
Overall Impression: Another beer that I thought for sure I would have rated previously. I've seen this one many times, and had it before as well. A solid stout for sure.
