Hang Six
Rhinegeist Brewery

 

 

Thanks Alaana and Richard!!

A: Pale yellow in color with a light white head.

S: Light fruit cocktail aroma, and a touch of pineapple or pear, and watermellon.

T: Light and crisp with a little artificial fruit candy flavor.. At first I thought it was cotton candy, but I think maybe it is jolly rancher... it's just a touch there...

M: medium light, crisp, and medium high carbonation, dry finish.

O: Watermelon in beer either tastes like dirt or candy, this one oddly has the faintest hints of both of those flavors.

 

 

This beer pours a super clear gold color with a very small white head. As soon as I put my nose in the glass, I smelled Red Bull. It doesn’t smell like beer at all. No graininess. No hops. Just energy drink.

Mouthfeel is very light and the finish is super dry and clean as a brut IPA should be. Taste for me is almost completely like Red Bull with a bit of hops bitterness on the back end.

Overall this is a weird beer. I like the taste of Red Bull so I’m cool with it for a unique experience. Won’t buy another four pack though.

 

As the Rhinegeist Brewing has hung out for six years, they celebrate the anniversary with a trendy rebuttal to the juicy, the hazy, the perfumy, the pastry taste of more New England styled IPA with a drier, crisper and more refreshing IPA that doesn't budge an inch on fruit forward or herbal character.

Glowing softly through a translucent golden austere, Hang Six builds a racy, soapy froth that tingles the nose with melon, herbal, botanical grassiness, hay and tea with each and every bubble that pops. A brisk sweetness graces the early palate with hints of honey, bread and a slight savory toastiness.

As the ample carbonation reaches the middle palate, the sweetness of malt is carried away, leaving behind the whimsy of watermelon and peach to delight the tastebuds. Trending spicy, bitter and pleasantly vegetal, suggestions of parsley and mint come with a distinctive bitterness akin to botanical gin, white wine and matcha tea.

Trending dry, crisp and highly refreshing, the absence of malty weight on the late palate and the linger of hop spices contribute to a supremely drinkable beer with the greenness of vegetation providing their own spice and drying capabilities. A quick aftertaste follows with remnants of floral fruit hovering above the tongue, washing any thirst from the palate effortlessly.

 

 

Almost no lacing, small head from fairly aggressive pour, the beer pours clear & golden. Hint of melon on the nose but kinda faint and one dimensional. Taste is a watermelon bomb (way stronger than the nose), body is super light, super smooth - feel is more like a session, super chuggable. Little more head retention or lacing paired with an aroma that let you knew what you were in for would work this beer wonders. Taste & feel are nice but no idea what youre up for til its in your mouth.
