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.

Pours a very hazy salmon in color and has a thinnish off-white froth. Aroma is full of grapefruit, coconut, sugar and passion fruit. Has a big fruity flavor with more grapefruit, passion fruit, tangerine and coconut along with more subtle notes of pith and zest. Has a lasting tanginess in the finish. Lighter side of medium in body and quite easy going.

Sixpoint always makes a point of being on point, and I can definitely see their point, and taste it too.

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.

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.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a hazy golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, some citrus notes. Taste is citrus, malts, light pine, moderate bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer.
