The Crisp
Sixpoint Brewery

 

Lived in Germany loved the pils, came back to states, only ipas and pale ales would suffice after that, but too heavy as I got older, drank this, just love it.

 

After years of drinking IPA’s, most of which I like, I’ve been searching for a quintessential Pilsner. I wanted to find the old magic of what I used to drink but with more punch and crispness. I’ve had little success but this is it and I loved it from the first sip (well, gulp).

Delicious. Top three Pilsners out there. Crisp, great hop snap (saaz?). Well Done

More in line with an actual german export. Extremely solid for those that don't like overhopped american versions

 

12oz can best before date Feb 11, 2023 into a tall Pilsner glass.
L: Pours clear light golden caramel w some large carbo bubbles, a 1/2" white head w good retention to edge foam, rhythmic skeletal lacing.
S: Grassy, a hint of bread, moderately floral, perfume, wildflower, a suggestion of green apple, light caramel.
T: Gentle sweet malts in a bright hoppy shell, a hint of citrus fruit, a wisp of apple, very clean finish with very little aftertaste. Non-resinous.
F: Crisp, medium-light bodied feel and clean w a med-fast lightly drying finish.
O: A fairly tame Pilsner with excellent light taste and feel. It dries out a little at the end. Totally crushable and clean drinking. It is excellent in its style.

Poured from can into a mason jar, best by 3/29/23

Look: light golden brown, with a decent amount of totally white head
Smell: very hoppy, a little bit fruity (like citrus or apple). Reminds me a decent amount of cider
Taste: similar to aroma - hops and fruit are the most notable flavors. A little bit of sweetness, but it's mostly overwhelmed by the hops and slightly sour fruitiness
Feel: pretty watery and light, with pretty heavy carbonation

 

 

Look...copper yellow more towards the copper. white foamy clear beer head
Smell...Light smell as usual as with this style seems to be. Faint hint of hop and caraway seed. A bit sour
Taste...bitter bitter to start and pretty much does a lot of that haha interwoven wit ha little juice with a drying inviting finish
Feel...a thin vibrant head that culminates nicely in the body of the beer. Leaves lacing on the glass and eventually disperses as time passes
Overall... you could drink a ton of these and the good part is you want to. On the proper instance you want a nice pils or lager this is well suited.

I must explain my high marks for this brew. I realized I haven't had a beer in a long time. I had a craving for an old school macro.. I recalled the beer of my distant past. Bud, Miller, I'd even enjoy a Schaffer or Ballentine Ale to remind me of my original love of brew. One may enjoy the large juicy pub burger but at times might crave a smushed McDonalds cheeseburger. I'd tried this before but it resulted in disappointment. Either they're not as good as they were or my tastes have become more refined and grown up. . Until I bought the crisp. Name was promising as crisp is the attribute I recall about this mass class of brews. I cracked it open, took a small guzzle then came a flood of memory's of old pleasure. A good not great beer. I was looking for good not great. Crisp hit the spot!

"Best by 8/10/22"; drank 6/4/22 @ the Yarchives.

Cloudy dull yellow/orange appearance.

An even pour yielded a big off-white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.

Rye bread, old book & mild lemon notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Oak and old book flavors up front; mild lemon & apple notes on the finish.

This doesn't taste like a German Pilsner to me...but I must say, it was bold and interesting.

Bright clear gold with lots of visible carbonation. Small but persistent head and nice lacing. Herbal grassy noble hops in the nose. Taste has a little malt sweetness which is swept up in a bracing spicy crisp hop bitterness. You know, these old school hop german hop flavors are nice after drinking about a hundred NEIPA's recently. Full bodied for the style but easily drinkable. Pretty much dead on version of the style so if you're looking for a pils this is a good choice.

refreshing pilsner style beer could drink all day

 

Tall thin can into a pint glass yesterday evening. Best by February 2022, so a little late on this one.

Looks pretty good. Faintly hazy yellow body. Decent bright white head leaves scattered lacing.

Malty aroma with a faint whiff of hop.

Well, as the name suggests, its crisp, quite clean, very malty, but there are hop notes woven in, especially towards the end.

Mouth above medium, finish hop/malt mix, does dry out a little.

Overall, have been after this one for a while, happy to find it in my grocery store's mix a six. Decent beer, would certainly have again.

 

 

 

 

 

355ml can. A Brooklyn take on a German pilsner. Fresh and crisp but less steely and more floral. Lots of lemon (both pith and zest). Mouthfeel is smooth and carbonation is relatively low. This could be described as a modern American pilsner, I suppose. A lager with APA hop characteristics. Good.

 

Picked this up as part of a mixed 15 pack from TW Greenville, SC 7-19-21 for $21.49. Best by 11-13-21; consumed 8-15-21.

Beer poured clear gold with a very nice white head with the original pour.

Nose is nice, grainy and white crackery.

Taste follows the nose with a light pale malt base that displays the Noble herbal and grassy hops that leave a trace of lemony bitterness that balances out the beer nicely.

Mouthfeel follows the naming of this brew, light and crisp with a very refreshing finish.

Overall a crushable well made beer!

From a 12oz slim-line can dated best by 10/13/21 into a pint glass.

Pours a translucent golden yellow with about three fingers of white head. Decent enough retention and lacing.

Smells of spices/pepper, bread, grass and a hint of lemon.

While the aromas were pretty distinct, the flavor is not. A bit of spiciness, light skunkiness and bitterness. Very faint bread. It is tasteful, just not much differentiation.

Pretty strong bitter aftertaste and pretty full-bodied for a pils. Medium to high carbonation.

This isn't that bad. Would have loved a bit more on the taste side as compared to the nose.

 

 

I received a "The Crisp" Pilz can in August, 2022 (best by 12/21/22). I'm revising my previous review and rating (see below). The aroma is inviting and the flavor is nice, with quite a bit of hop flavor. The bitterness is still lacking, but the aftertaste here is lasting and inviting. I would have liked more malt body and bitterness, but overall it's quite drinkable.
Sixpoint "the Crisp" lager can opened in May 2021. The beer pours nicely, a rich golden body is accompanied by a white foam the recedes fairly quickly. The aroma is beery. The flavor starts well, a medium body with a good hop bitterness. The bitterness fades, and that's where the trouble starts. I was left with an unpleasant floral sweet taste in my mouth that really took me by surprise, since I expected the bitterness to linger pleasantly. The sweetness even affected my perception of the ensuing sips, degrading the experience further (Overall rating 2.95).

Pours light yellow with a 1 inch foamy white head, which lasts. Moderate lacing to the end.

Aroma is bready, light citrus, slight spice, grass.

Taste is biscuit malt, slight lemon, hay.

Thin bodied, light carbonation. Dry finish.

For a pilsner, it's pretty decent.

355 ml slimline can, as Sixpoint The Crisp Pilsner, from Vinmonopolet Verksgata, Stavanger. ABV is 5.4%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma, with notes of grassy and floral hops. The flavour is medium sweet, and not as crisp as the name suggests. Decent bitterness in the finish though. Okay, but hardly a beer I’ll buy again.

 

 

-golden can pour with a slight haze hosts a 3 cm cap of pillowy foam.
The aroma is faint with woody hop notes.
The flavor is of bready malt and the same hop notes.
The “Crisp” lacks the dryness of some others of this style.

Pours a pale gold with a frothy off white head, that leaves a trail of lace.

Bright citrus, cereal grain, flowery bitter herb hop.

Lemon, bitter herb with floral notes, and cereal grain malt Bill.
