bonbright7 (157), Huntington, New York, USA Mar 13, 2008 Growler. I found this orange/gold ale at Superstar in Huntington to be very drinkable with the strong aroma of hops up front and interesting malts in the body. I couldn’t name the elements of spice in the aftertaste or foamy head, but I just kept pouring as it went well with baked chicken and whole wheat pasta with diced tomatoes. Reflecting on it for a moment before pouring another pint, it reminded me of a maltier version of the Sweet Action. I could easily devour my growler’s contents while wishing I had bought another one. fredandboboflo (627), East Setauket, New York, USA Sep 29, 2008 Fresh 10 oz. "growler." Aroma of toasted malt, grapefruity hops. Flavor more and more sweet and tangy grapefruit. Nice, malty body. Great stuff. LilBeerDoctor (635), East Setauket, New York, USA Sep 29, 2008 Growler. Pours a clear deep orange with a very small white ring of head. Aroma of citrus, piney, and grassy hops with a wheaty malt backbone. Flavor is quite hoppy with a nice balance of citrusy, grassy hops with wheat and caramel malt. Some light fruity notes in the finish. A very tasty beer that is practically an IPA. notalush (2075), Rawn-kawn-kohma, New York, USA Mar 15, 2008 Growler - turbid orange beer, with a soapy lace that never quite kicks into a full head - the aroma has the expected hop explosion I’ve come to expect from Sixpoint, but the use of PNW hops gives it a kind of citrusy, California IPA kind of smell (very grassy and herbal, with an almost acidic citrus character), along with faint bready and yeasty aromas - medium carbonation, and quite full-bodied for the style - the scottish ale yeast does lend a marked british character to the beer, mostly in the form of a biscuity finish - beyond that, this is standard Sixpoint in top form - a mouth-watering hop combination that works really well with the malts, neither one really asserting dominance - a little bit spicy, with oranges and a touch of strawberry - it is very much like Bengali Tiger, which is not a bad thing at all - very nice indeed. mkobes (2039), somewhere, New Jersey, USA Mar 17, 2008 On tap at Pacific Standard. Cloudy orange in color with a little white head. Floral crisp hoppy aroma. Orange and grapefruit notes. Hoppy malty flavor. Caramel notes. Nice hop bitterness. Finish is spicy. Full bodied. Very drinkable.
