COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Available pasteurised in cans and bottles.
NOTE: Ratings for the cask version should NOT be entered here; it has a separate listing.
Wadworth have been brewing 6X in their Devizes brewery for over 80 years. This delightful copper-coloured beer has a malty, fruity nose with a restrained hop character. The same characteristics emerge on the palate but with more intensity,leading to a lingering malty finish. The beer is full bodied and distinctive but with a high drinkability, ensuring its position as one of the South of England’s most requested beers.
6X is brewed from 93% pale malt, 4% crystal malt and 3% cane sugar. The bitterness units of 22-24 are obtained from Fuggles hops (85% of total) in the copper and Goldings hops (15%) on the hop back plates. Colour rating is 28.

Metalchopz (1173) - Quebec, CANADA - AUG 2, 2011
Originally rated February 2007. Can from the LCBO. Pours a clean amber-copper colour with a decent creamy off-white head that has good retention. Carbonation is very light, with tiny little bubbles, from time to time. Big grainy and bread nose with some yeast. Watery mouthfeel with a bit of stickiness. The taste is nice, with some sweetness, some fruitiness and some light hoppiness. Pretty good bitter.

Miksu (3887) - Jyväskylä, FINLAND - JUL 5, 2011
0.5 l bottle, thanks hanniku! Copper color. Sweetish aroma with tart, resiny and flowery hop aroma. The resiny and flowery hops are dominant in flavor but also nutty maltiness grows towards finish. Medium bitterness. Basic modern bitter with restrained bitterness.

TET (685) - FINLAND - JUL 2, 2011
Beautiful colour, copperbrown beer with a medium and blond head. Aroma is moderate fresh and complex, toffeeish maltyness, some aromatic fruityness and some berries and cherries. Taste is malty, toffee, not too sweet, some berries, medium bitterness that is quite dry and wooden, slightly musty aftertaste. Quite light to drink, but also nicely smooth. Quite nice, better medium level bitter, good balance; more aromatic nuancees would be great.

jimthechap (644) - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 18, 2011
Pours largely clear, copper to golden amber in colour with a white head that subsides. It smells of dehydrated apricots, velvety and fruity and creamy, but also has buttered toast with marmalade aromas. Enticing. The aroma is complex and makes you ruminative. The first taste is of marmite, marmalade and sweet tangy citrus. This is a wonderful harmony of hops and malt and peachy goodness. Enormously enjoyable and I have rated it so simply because it ticks all the boxes next to my preferences. A very sexy brew.
