    Delicious stuff. Like a beer mimosa.

    All the same sentiments on my part. This beer is a crusher, for me—like a sessionable peach-grapefruit bellini in a can. WHUCK?

    If I had a lawn, I would mow the lawn with this in hand. Bought one 4 pack the other day, just picked up another tonight, but it's starting to become slim pickings already in NNJ. Wish this was all summer (or bring back Apollo cans :slight_smile:)

    if you like grapefruit, then this is your jam....

    it probably will be gone soon....make sure to request the store carries the other line of products!


    try using the BeerFinder app....


    it may not be for everyone, but if you like intense flavors (session sours) then this one is good for you!

    that seems to be a recurring description...

    looking forward to playing around with the formulation for next year...

    did you notice the stores running out?

    already landed...

    Tried...two stores, maybe three, in all of metro-Boston. So I can only ask whether I should expect it to land with others who currently sell other Sixpoint brews?

    Craft Beer Cellar has it for sure. Give them a call. Let me know how it goes.

    Just picked up a 4 pack and can't wait to crack one open.

    Just a quick question for @Sixpoint, approximately how much fruit juice is there per can? Or about how many more carbs does this add compared to a regular brew? I just ask because being a type 1 diabetic, beer is one monster when trying to adjust insulin levels, beer with fruit juice is another story.

    Haven't seen this in MD! Though most stores around me get very limited amount of Sixpoint stuff, would love to see more.

    Its a blend that is roughly half and half with beer and fruit juices.

    Thanks, @Sixpoint

    50/50 was my guess, but never hurts to ask.

    Yes, of the stores I frequent, I bought the last one at one location Friday, bought the second to last one Monday from a different store. Did not see on shelf at 2 other stores that I would expect to carry it.

    So sad I bought a 4-pack of this. Even more sad that they wasted such a great name, yes I understand it's a "radler". This beer reminds of some sort of Sam Adams shandy or maybe even some Leinenkugel's crap. I have 3 left if anybody needs them.

    you're joking right? You actually read the box, can, our website, our blog, and the messages on this thread?

    Because if you did, you would not be shocked by the flavor profile.

    I don't quite think it tasted shandy-like, but I wasn't a big fan of this one, I didn't hate it, but I think I would have liked it much more if it was about 75% beer to 25% juice. I appreciate the fact that Sixpoint pushes the envelope and tries new things, I'll continue to look forward to their offerings, and I'm glad there are many who have loved this beer.

    Liked it, didn't love it. Shared the cans around, some liked it others didn't. Not unexpected.
