Resin
Sixpoint Brewery

Pours a clear pale orange color with excellent lacing which persists and 2 fingers of whitish foam from a twelve ounce can into
A tulip glass. Aroma of cat pee unfortunately predominates some citrus, malt and bread notes. Flavor is full and citrus, clean malt predominates. Hides the 9.1% abv well.

Best current example of an old school WC IPA. Not fruity, nor tropical, nor hazy, nor floral. Bitter pine with obvious ABV, yes, pour me another. Try it if you haven’t.

 

spotted this at the local supermarket.
Fresh (BB July 2026) and only $3, so...
Never really got into their stuff when it first came out. Tried Bengali and The Crisp. Meh. Recently saw good reviews for Resin here, and, being a fan of resinous and dank DIPAS, figured I'd give it a go...
Pours a beautiful gold with a nice foam head that quickly dissipates. Upon cracking the can, there's an initial blast of hop aroma, but it's short-lived. The taste is bitter, resinous, piney hops parallel to a strong sweet caramel malt presence. Almost equal bitterness and sweetness in the mix.
I crave old school hop bitterness over newfangled soft, juicy, murky IPAs, but there's not much else going on with this. Kind of a one-trick pony (not a six-point pony?).
The 9.1% is apparent, as well, as it's quite boozy.

12oz can dated BB: Nov 9, 2025. Poured into a Nonic glass. Slightly Murky, yellow-orange in color. BIG, frothy 3 finger head - that settles to a nice robust creamy top. At nearly a year? I’m impressed. Sixpoint brews hold up(if stored properly) I’d say this one is the oldest I’ve had over the years- and definately the smoothest. The 103ibu’s is tamed now. But still, very noticeable albeit suppressed now, by the malt character. The smell is typical west coast hops(pine/tangerine/apricot/red grapefruit) that head, is tremendous! Fresh, this brew has some viscosity - and I think maybe I like it more at a year?! The bitterness, Is what one might look for in this beer. So, maybe I’m liking it, and find it more desirable after the fact. I love hoppy beers. But I also love complexity. This one? Changes a lot in a year. And it’s good at any point. Cheers!

 

 

 

 

Color of straw. Big, white head. Aroma of pine, tropical fruits, and caramel malt. Strong, hoppy bitterness in taste with a heavy, malty background.

This is a very smooth drinking West Coast DIPA. So be careful, the 9.1% can sneak up on you. Pine, banana, pineapple? Whatever it is it’s very smooth and tasty. I’m about to order another one. Very deserving of its 92 point rating on BA.

Reminds me of some old school west coast IPAs we have in the Midwest. Attractive look to it, copper color and tons of lacing. Grapefruit, orange, pine, resin, a bit of honey caramel sweetness, pale malt. Bitter with clean flavors and crisp.

 

 

Moderately hazy golden color with a modest white head. The aroma is moderately strong with earthy, musty, pine and citrus peel scents. The taste is balanced and has a serious bitterness. Resin-like pine and biter orange peel. Flavorful and very interesting. It hides its ABV well at the start, but after a few sips it does have a warming quality. Full bodied.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a New Belgium globe glass

The beer pours a slightly cloudy copper/orange color with a big off white head that recedes slowly leaving behind quite a bit of lacing.

The aroma is slightly sweet; citrusy and piney with some herbal and spicy notes.

The flavor is piney and bitter with some nice citrusy notes: grapefruit, orange, lemon, and a light malt presence with just a hint of caramel to add sweetness to the beer. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Finishes slick on the tongue.

Overall, this is a great old school DIPA

12 oz. can pours a hazy light orange with big off-white head and some lacing. Aroma is full of piney and citrus hops as the name suggests, but with lots of sweet caramel malts as well. Much smoother and easier to drink than I had expected from a 9.1% IIPA. Has a clean dry finish, as expected. This is not an outrageous hop bomb. Mouthfeel is a little sticky without much carbonation. Medium body. Very enjoyable, and one I return to often.

My mate left a can of Resin when he left. This stuff is awesome. Really well balanced with a nice IPA bitterness. I would call it more if a west coast variety as it only has a bit of haze to it. At 9.1%, it makes for a great sipping beer.
