Sixpoint Resin is one of the hoppiest beers available, relying on the resin in hop cones for its eponymous name. Self-admittedly, even brewmasters almost spit it out upon their first taste, due to the bitter sting of the hop resin. Bitterness is nature's way of indicating poison, so such a taste can inspire fear. But you shouldn't fear the hop cone. Instead, embrace it! Eventually, the lupulin shift occurs and you begin to crave what you once feared. A product of the Sixpoint Brewing Company from Brooklyn, New York, Sixpoint Resin is about celebrating everything that makes hops a quintessential part of a beer. Think of it as hop candy. You aren't quite sure when or why you started to love it, but it's a coming-to-God experience that either opens your eyes to the light or brings you to the dark side. Piney, hoppy and resinous, Sixpoint Resin clocks in at 103 IBUs, so if you aren't ready, bitter beer face may become a reality. If you know what you're getting yourself into, it's actually a slap in the face that feels oh so good. It uses dozens of different hops, so there's no one flavor that dominates. There's no foul in sipping it right out of the can or letting it breathe a bit in a pint glass. Just get ready for it to throw a taste uppercut that might knock you down.
While gulping beers from tankards several stories underground in the ancient cellars of a medieval brewery in the Czech Republic, the seed of Sixpoint Crisp Lagers had taken root. Of course the Mad Scientists had no desire to simply recreate that old world flavor, but the experience itself had forever altered the vector of their formulating... When the Mad Scientists emerged from underground, the quest for a new formulation went from obsession to reality. What do you get when you fuse old world craftsmanship with new, clean, and bold flavors from the right raw materials? The Crisp. It’s Mad Science.
The rings on the glass, those are his stripes, the gleam in your eye, that is the Tiger. In 2004, the Mad Scientists were tasting initial formulations during an epic video game marathon. In the glass, the beer’s golden orange hue -- and stripes of white lacing left behind after hearty gulps -- undeniably revealed the brew’s spirit animal. And so, Bengali, our homebrewed IPA interpretation was born. It slashes first with citrus and pine, roars in the nose and on the tongue, then shows a softer side with malt balance and a clean finish. It’s Mad Science.
Believe us: the MELTDOWN is really here. It’s happening as we speak…even inside this can.We liquified the solid lupulin sap from TONS of hop cones to extract the juice—changing states of matter to change your state of mind. You can’t ignore it anymore. Hop resin now totally saturates the liquid and a thick haze starts to form. Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you…that’s seriously pure hop juice oozing out of the can. Enough to melt your face!A lush, hazy, juicy Double IPA with ripe tropical and bright citrus characteristics, and a soft, easy finish. Brewed w/ Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria Hops.
Let your instincts take over. Channel your inner beast. When our brewmaster pulls a fresh beer IBU off the canning line he brings everyone close to crack it open and inhale the instantaneous aroma explosion. It’s ritualistic. This sort of obsession led to vision quests in Pacific Northwest hop fields, not to mention years of maniacal recipe modification on a small scale. Embrace your inner HOOTIE and fly silently into the night!
We’re talking about that Sixpoint Salty Tango with a twist—the tangy waves of JAMMER with just the right amount of lemon and lime juice. Time for some Vitamin J.
How about an IPA that won’t slow you down? We packed tons of hop character into this super juicy, crazy aromatic little hazy IPA, and dried out the body to make it easy to throw back on the go.
