A lush, hazy, juicy IIPA with ripe tropical and bright citrus characteristics, and a soft, easy finish. Loaded up with enough dry-hops to melt your face.
Brewed w/ Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria Hops.

Hazy gold color with soapy white head. Nose is complex. Stone fruit, malt and bread sweetness, pineapple, hints of pine, floral, papaya. Taste follows the nose but is not as strong as the smell. Medium mouthfeel and no detection of 8% alcohol. For a high abv NEIPA, this is very refreshing. Will probably purchase again. Also, very reasonably priced for a six pack.

Cloudy, golden color. Huge, white head.Tropical fruits and caramel malt in the aroma. Moderately bitter, moderately juicy taste. Not bad, but nothing special.

I like the classic Sixpoint can artwork. The pour is hazy yellow. The taste is Peach, pineapple, mandarin orange, & grapefruit. It's a good hazy IPA but not a great one. Cheers! B

Slender 12 oz can poured into a 14 oz Founders Brewing snifter.
Good foamy head that didn’t stay too long.
Smells of tropical fruit with a little funk.
I like hazy IPAs, but somehow always finding myself thinking of mimosas. Champagne of any brand trashed with orange juice.
This hazy is decently carbonated, helping push the flavor.
Taste is mimo, excuse me, taste is juicy hops, the ‘usual’ hazy fruity (puts its toe on the line of ‘sour’, but doesn’t go all the way.
Thin lacing. Not oily.
Bright and refreshing finish.
Lingering bitterness saves the day.
Overall.,. sure. It’s OK.

Hazy pour as billed. Decent head that dissipates quickly without lacing. Fairly aggressive flavor profile, mostly tropical fruit with a citrus underneath. Refreshing, enjoyable. My face didn't melt, but I did smile.

Pours a hazy dark yellow with a small short lived head.
Smells of citrus with a bit of hops. Tastes of citrus and mango with a sweet finish.
Medium light watery body with low carbonation. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel.
