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.

Pours hazy orange with a two finger head. The aroma is of tropical fruit, resin, and malt. The flavor is of sweet malt, resin, and a little citrus. Sixpoint has taken the lower bitterness idea of hazy IPAs further than most with a number of very low IBU beers. It's too far on the sweet side for me.

Pours hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of clementine, lemongrass. Taste has acerbic citrus, resinous hop oil. Palate has much of the same, some orange on the nose, continuation of the same.

Draught at the source: pours unclear orange gold with white head. Aroma is light grass, some citrus, other fruitiness. Light bitterness, negligible sweetness. Finish was initially nice but then it seemed a bit raw.

12 ounce can from Festival Northland, 2/8/21. Hazy orange, medium frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of dank, resin, tangerine, passionfruit, pale malt. Taste is dank, onion, tangerine, passionfruit, berry. Medium bodied, low to medium bitterness, juicy, pretentious (nah, just kidding, ask me the story). Nice.

(Can) Pours black with tiny brown head. Good aroma of coffee, dark roast malt, molasses. Full bodied, smooth, somewhat sticky with fine carbonation. Great taste both rich and bitter. There’s dark toffee sweetness and coffee bitterness and alcohol heat. There’s hints of vanilla. Very enjoyable.
