3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Rattle ’n Hum. Poured a cloudy medium orange color with an off white head. The nose was of clove, dark fruits, alcohol, and a bit of citrusy orange. Medium to full bodied and spicy with moderate to high carbonation. Lots of clove flavor accompanied by a warming alcohol effect and alcohol flavor. Citrus and dark fruit flavors also emerged. While this beer didn’t exactly bowl me over, I liked it.

Growler, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing! Pours a hazy amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of sugar, spices, citrus, currants and hops. Taste is sharp and sweet, of grass, citrus, sugar, spices. Hides the alcohol well. Lingering spice. Not bad.

750ml growler via Larry Goldtwins. Thanks Dude! Pours orange with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and rich, and somewhat bland. Taste is sweet and rich and not as hot as the abv would suggest. Its tasty and drinkable but a bit too bland for the style.

Growler from Bierkraft. Pours a cloudy caramel with a tan/white head. Aroma is of vanilla, cinnamon, and oranges. I like it. Medium/heavy body. Sweet malt at the front with a little smokiness and some spice, followed by warming alcohol and then a finish of tart fruit. So far this is my favorite from Sixpoint, although it’s a little outside of the style guidelines.

This is not as dark red as the stanadard Quad. This is the first thing that registers. The aroma is wheat, ceeal grains, spices, clove. The appearance is a hazy orange, white head. The flavor is wheat, orange peel, clove, hops. The finish is maimnly a spiciness left on the palate. Medium body. Decent Quad.

On tap at Bellport Cold Beer and Soda. When I gave my glass to Jeff from Sixpoint to try this beer, I was given a sample that barely covered the bottom of my glass. When I asked him for a bit more, he told me that this was a "strong" beer and I should be careful. Hell, I’m old enough to be this guy’s father! I walked over to Dave’s tap and proceeded to pour myself a proper sample, thank you Dave...pours a hazy golden amber with a moderate off-white head. Very pleasant, sweet smelling aroma filled with brown sugar, caramel and raisins. The flavor is quite similar with again brown sugar, caramel and raisins. I was very pleasantly surprised by the smooth texture and nearly full mouthfeel of this beer, and the lack of the characteristic Sixpoint hops bite at the end. A very nice domestic quad.

Tap @ Gingerman NYC. Hazy amber color with a thin off-white head. Malty and fruity with the smell of an empty box of raisins. Not the paper part but the residue of the skins and fruit. Some notes of oranges comes out with warmth. Taste of browned fruit flesh. Short yeasty spice finish. Sticky with a medium body. Dry finish.
