Sixpoint releases RAD - and even Cru Jones gets amped about it

RAD would be perfect for making some Beer-mosas. For the ladies of course. Because real men don't.....aww hell, who am I kidding. I'd drink a few.

 

So I would like to enter a request for next year - cans available all summer, and sixths (it is just a big can and who doesn't love big cans?)

 

How come I have yet to see this in southern Nassau county? I see it has made it to CT but not here yet? I've checked about half a dozen stores already. Really looking to try this beer.

 

I didn't like it at all, maybe it was the food I was eating it with, but it felt like i was drinking pure lemon juice- a very different sour than a lacto-sour

 

strange beer. I'm on the fence. Definitely not a crusher, as I found myself sipping it. i got tripped up on the grapefruit bitterness against the absence of hop bitterness. For some reason I wanted a cherry or berry facet to round the fruit profile out a bit. You get a hint of berliner underriding the tremendous citrus juice.

I could defintely see serving this on ice and possibly using it in a mashup.

Glad I tried it and glad I have 6 more to experience.

Thanks Shane for your giftbag. The reformulated Crisp is off the charts awesome

 

I would love for Sixpoint to use different juices each year/season. Some blackberry juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, grape juice, I think it would be fun to keep using the same base wheat beer with a different selection of juices.

 

Update, it was $8.99, and I didn't get the last one because I was able to get two more tonight.

 

I liked the flavor. I also tasted a heavy grapefruit component. A little orange sweetness, but I couldn't pick out any lemon(if there was any )

The mouthfeel was thicker than I expected: more like drinking OJ than a beer.

 

Has anyone seen this in the Milwaukee area/Wisconsin yet? Was not at Discount Liquor or Three Cellars just yet

 

I just bought a can today in Madison and it is on the shelves. You should see it this week?

 

Good to hear. Thanks. Enjoying it?

 

Had one tonight. Lots of sour grapefruit and a tropical note, mango I think. I really enjoyed it. Look forward to finishing the four pack.

 

It was super refreshing this evening. Really hit the spot. I'm a huge grapefruit juice fan.

 

Finally got to try this....still havent seen it at my "sixpoint store" though they have all the other stuff including some fresh resin i picked up the other day....i was surprised to see this at a store where i cant recall having seen sixpoint beers before....i thought this may be too sweet for me but i am pleasantly surprised....im loving the grapefruitiness and the wheat beer base provides a faint memory of Apollo....wasnt expecting to but i think ill have to pick up another 4-pack before this dissappears

 

Can't find this anywhere. Going to the beach this weekend and wanted some for the cooler.

 

Really surprised by this brew. I typically drink IPAs and DIPAs and stay away from sessions and fruity stuff but this is a very good, refreshing beer that I crushed on accident and then on purpose.

Love the grapefruit presence and the idea to switch up the fruit juices with the base.

Thanks for the brews @Sixpoint , I'm going to buy more tomorrow!
