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.

9th October 2008. GABF. Clear brown beer - aromatic malt with the distinctive rye taste. Palate is soft but also dry.

Draught at Rattle ’n Hum, New York
Cloudy deep blond color. Nice citrusy hop aroma. Medium body, dry mouthfeel, crispy malt flavor; strong hopping, citrusy and partially resiny. Strong and lasting bitterness. Good hop juice, but not impressive.

Draught at Rattle ’n Hum, New York
The color is dark, almost black. Light but nice aroma of roasted malt and caramel. Chocolate and dark caramel flavor, with some roasted malt later, and quite strong bitterness. Well balanced and correctly brewed.

Cask at Rattle ’n Hum, New York
Amber color. Dusty caramel aroma with shades of hops. Smooth, with strong caramel flavor, light roasted malt and rye; the flavor as well is a bit dusty. There is some good hopping. The final, well bitter, gets a bit dry. Good.

Draft at Rattle N Hum, NYC. Deep brown body with frothy tan head. Nice aroma of roasted malts, coffee, caramel, toffee. Not much hop nose, just a hint of resin. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter and lightly acidic. There is a slight taste in the finish that reminds me of rye, but must be the particular combination of hop and roast bitterness. Medium body, velvety texture, at least in the beginning, lively carbonation. Easy to drink, but average sweet stout.

On cask at Friday the Firkenteenth at the Grey Lodge Pub. Clear amber with only a slight, cloudy white head. Aroma of toast and yeast. Bready, malty flavor, lightly sweet. Finish is a little thin. Probably wasn’t helped by the cask pour.

On cask at Friday the Firkenteenth at the Grey Lodge Pub. Pours a flat, opaque black with no head. Nice, toasted, nutty aroma. Flavor of cold coffee, nuts, toasted grains, brown sugar. Bitter finish from the burnt grains. Dry finish too. Smooth and drinkable.

I was wondering what kind of beer this was and upon seeing that it is a cream ale, I am not at all surprised. Pours a cloudy copper color. Has a pretty fruity nose. Tastes fruity at the front and I almost mistook it for a fruit beer. Then finishes off with a yeasty finish. Some hops in there. Rather on the sweet side of things.
