There’s no fruit in this smoothie. Yes, it’s the juiciest, fruitiest, smoothest, creamiest thing you’ve ever drank. But that’s just hop juice my friend.

Cloudy orange colt. Big, white head. Tangerine and orange zest dominate the aroma. Light bitterness in a juicy and slightly acidic taste. Interesting IPA.

12 oz can.
Pours a hazy orange gold color with a nice fluffy white head. Good head retention. Leaves a crown of lacing along the glass.
The aroma is very citrus forward, with notes of lemondrop candy, grapefruit and orange zest. There's a bit of peach and vanilla cream.
The flavor brings notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, and peaches and cream.
The feel is medium-light bodied with moderate carbonation. Quite watery and thin. Has a moderately dry finish.
Overall, this is a solid NEIPA. The best way to describe this beer is that it's the equivalent of an exclusive NEIPA brewery making a West Coast IPA, just reversed.

Slim 12 oz can.
Full on hazed n juiced NEIPA pour...supports a 3/4 inch long lasting cap. Leaves a major splattering of might fine sheeting all over the glass. Nice looking beer
Pleasing fruity sniff, with a late note of mild green onions/chives.
On the palate, its notes of pineapple, mango, and some light lime bite qualities.
Smooth in the mouth, pleasant to the senses, widely available. Nice take on the style by a Brooklyn's veteran and mighty fine Sixpoint Brewery.

12 oz. can, best by NOV 20, 2022 on the bottom. Acquired a single can as part of a mixed six pack. My first new beer from Sixpoint Brewery in quite a while, listed here as a New England style IPA, always makes me apprehensive.
Poured to Ballast Point stemware.
Pours a hazed, cloudy yellow-orange body with some chill haze. Finger of good white milky froth for a head that stays a while.
Initial aromas of peaches & cream, I'll admit, I stopped and paused for a moment as this thing did actually remind of the peach flavored Shaklee protein shakes my mom used to make when I was a kid. Other aromas of mango, banana, spice & alcohol esters. It does have something unique going on here that I can't quite place however.
Juicy & tropical flavors - not bitter, but tons of juiciness from the dry-hopping: mango, papaya, banana, peaches galore. Notes of fluff & cream - oats? Again, super creamy & unique - I can't get peach protein shake out of my mind as much as I want to.
Body is super light, fluffy, & creamy - again, possibly an addition of oats to this brew? Slight bready malt character is present but not too discerning. Medium-bodied with perfect carb. Bit of peachy fruitiness lingering on the finish.
Overall, I was a bit impressed by this one, as I'm usually underwhelmed by beers calling themselves "New England" or "Hazy IPA", but the flavor profile & drinkability of this one kick it up a notch or two. Overall I'm giving it 4's across the board, would recommend and drink again.
Sixpoint Smoothie -----4/5.

Look...A cloudy straw color yellow with total opaqueness. A full white head
Smell...the smell of faint hops but a good hint of citrus grapefruit
Taste...Good sweetness off the bat dissipating to a bitter dryness concluding with a fruity not sweet finish
Feel...A fullness i did not expect at 6.5 percent but very full for the ABV. A pillow softness that def enhances this beer.
Overall...I liked this beer out of the variety pack and i would have rated it 1 or 2 and that is good. Sixpoint really delivered on this one. A little surprising for me

Poured into a grip shaped goblet: color is hazy straw, head is off white and presents 1 finger thick, then dissipates to thinner top, limited lacing.
Smell is quite subdued for juicy style brew - light citrus juice, limited malt.
Taste has more to offer with a citric forward flavor, leaning to orange, touch of grapefruit, then not much else but some hints of malt and grapefruit.
Mouthfeel is thin - low carbonation, moderate sweetness, limited bitterness.
Overall a thinner NEIPA than some, especially one that leads with the concept of a smoothie style brew. Hops are definitely citrusy but little other flavor with base malt even thin in presentation.
