3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap @ The Cherry Tree in one of those funky new Sam Adams glasses. Orange copper with lasting head and lace. Toasted caramel and hop aroma. Very toasted medium caramel, caramelized sweetness, mild fruit and nice well-balanced hoppy bitterness. Medium body and carbo. A nice sessionable hoppy beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Old BA rate - tap)
Hazy amberish orange color, with a thin slightly off-white head. Great lacing throughout the sample. Hops right up front, more fruity and floral with some malt sweetness. There’s those hops again, definitely a more flowery hop character vs piney or cedary. Great, strong malt backing. Medium to thinner feel, with decent carbonation (but certainly not a main feature. This is superbly drinkable, and I would almost say sessionable for me. Overall, this is more than just solid drinking
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clouded orange with a nice creme head. Floral hoppy nose. Strong citric hops flavor profile. Very firm bitter tone. Feel is good. This is very drinkable, even though it’s so distinct and firm. Hop heads rejoice! Even in these times of hop-uncertainty, Sixpoint clearly delivers one for those who have the appreciation for it.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draught at Pacific Standard. Poured a cloudy orange with a minimal head. Has that "yeah, that’s Sixpoint" grapefruity/floral hop aroma. Flavorwise, the familiar Sixpoint hoppy character--zesty citric grapefruit with mild resin--presents itself over clean but full caramely malts. Spritzy citrus-twist and mildly spicy finish. Seems like it could be a fuller and hoppier Sweet Action or a not-so-strong Bengali Tiger. Maybe a strange hybrid of the two with some tweaks here and there. Either way, this has the familiar Sixpoint elements, which I’ve come to enjoy.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft: cloudy orange, hoppy aroma, dry hoppy ale with plenty of malt presence, not bad
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Growler from Bowery WFM. Slighty hazy, ruddy orange color with a white head. Grassy and citrus-y hops, zesty spiciness, clean and slightly nutty malt character. Balanced and a little bready flavor, clean and crisp. Medium bodied with a short and smooth bitter finish. A little watery up front. Nothing remarkable, but balanced and quaffable.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A bit of a gimick beer, pretty well done though. Reletively thick body with a light aroma. Hopy, full palate. Some
Sweetness, malt. Mild and relativly average on all fronts. High drinkablilty.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Interesting combination of ingredients in this one, but somehow it works. Nice citrus and grassy hop flavors. Good residual malt sweetness and well balanced.
