Spice Of Life - Centennial
Sixpoint Brewery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clear, sunset orange with a thin head and some lacing. There is very little visible carbonation and obviously no sediment. The nose is slightly bitter and relatively sweet. The taste is mildly hoppy and sweet as well...frankly, the mouthfeel is the most redeeming quality of this beer. It's balanced and drinkable which is important for an IPA. Not outstanding, but not terrible either.

 

 

 

Appears a bright gold orange copper hue with a slight hazed body going on, forms a full white head forming thick with fine speckled lacing. Aroma has some nice biscuit malts with tropial fruit and strong citrus/grapefruit notes. I guessed this blindly as being either the Centennial or Amarillo single hopped Spice of Life. Flavor was full of citrus pith/grapefruit notes and a strong semi sweet malty/biscuit malt component with some mild spicy yeast tones coming through. Medium bodied ale with even carbonation very quality beer in my glass. Overall a go to beer that I would enjoy any month I hope to see more of the Sixpoint offerings on tap especially this varietal hopped Spice of Life series.

A: A nice cloudy orange, that leaves about a finger of off white head at the top, with a bit of lacing around the glass as you drink.

S: Notes of grapefruit, a nice hop presence with hints of malts throughout and a bit of lemon notes as well.

T: Almost exactly like the nose, nice blend of grapefruit hops and malts.

M: Medium carbonation, medium bodied.

O: Sixpoint is becoming a brewery that I am starting to like more and more. This brew was simple but not bad for IPA.

From notes taken at the Armsby Abbey. Poured into a standard pint glass.

A - Pours a hazy light golden yello with a fizzy light half a finger head that fades to leave a slight amount of side lacing.

S - Very faint on the nose. Faint centennial hops and grapefruit with a bit of a musty malt quality.

T - Taste is similar to the nose. Kinda grassy and light citrus. Rather earthy, but with a somewaht bland maltiness.

M - Mouthfeel is alright. Medium carbonation, good in the mouth.

O - Overall, not my favorite example of this type of hops. Really would like something more from this. Frankly, dissappointed.
