If you love Resin, try tasting it straight from the tanks. That’s Puff – a hazy, unfiltered pour straight from the tanks, with an extra dose of dry hops... a new blend devised just for Puff.

Very hazy orange brew; opaque. Very good head production, retention, and lacing.
Incredibly hoppy nose! Mango, pineapple, pine, and grapefruit. Some sweet pale malt presence as well.
Flavor follows: it's not exactly Resin, as it's juicier and a touch brighter. That said, it retains some of the characteristics. This hasn't morphed into a tropical juice bomb; it's still thick, resinous, malty, and bitter. Just a kiss of orange really rounds it out.
The extra ABV over Resin is noticeable; the mouthfeel is definitely on the thick side for a DIPA, bordering on TIPA. It's still lively and smooth, though, with just a small amount of alcohol heat. Not quite syrupy.
This is a really tasty brew, and a brilliant move by Sixpoint: they offer up a new take on an old classic, but the old classic is still available. Stone and Sierra Nevada could take note.

Looks the part but after a quick smell I am concerned. Booze and sweet malt-oh no. Yep, big boozy and just plain sweet. Quite the sugar bomb. Had high hopes for this but no thanks. Never again.

Pours amber, slight copper hue.
Nice fluffy head, lacing like the collar of RBG’s judicial robe.
Aroma, heavy citrus note.
Mouthfeel, slightly sticky, bubbly.
Taste is glorious, resinous, sharp hops round out a unique brew. ABV well hidden by abundant hopping. This is good stuff, if you like it citrusy, and hoppy.

16oz can dated either "10MAY18" or "10something18". Purchased thinking it 10 of 18 which would be fresh, but this is not!
Pours clear copper with a fluffy, beige head. Stale hops, wet paper, ethanol and dusty malt in the nose. Medium bodied with a tacky mouthfeel. Sweet malt up front on the palate with a numbing alcohol attack and bitterness. Finishes with shades of rocket fuel and stale malt.
So bummed I dropped almost $4.00 on this expired can of malty paint thinner.
