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.

Druaght from Oak & Iron in greenpoint bky. Reddish pour, not a ton of head, light hops and malts. It’s as you’d expect a red session to be.

Wow. The most coffee aroma beer I think ever especially for a lighter non porter or stout. Smell is espresso obviously. Colorationa murky pale copper. Taste is like a cold cup of coffee.

Apparently a very limited release from SixPoint, maybe they made this one special for Kettle of Fish? Who knows. Anyway, poured dull gold, sort of a corn/grain aroma, similar taste with some mildly earthy hops to finish that’s very quick. Kind of disappointing, a little too corny and just not a great balance.

I don’t know what it is with sixpoint but other than a few of their brews that I really like, like the Gorilla Warfare, there’s a strange flatness to a lot of their flavorings where one taste predominates over the rest and it almost comes off as off flavored.
