    I would like to say, that although not my favorite Sixpoint, I really like RAD. In all fairness, the first time I had it happened to be at the end of a 30 mile ride, so it was kind of the perfect beverage for the situation (other than water, but who drinks that stuff).

    I think my favorite is my old standby Righteous Ale. 3 Beans was pretty delicious though and have been hoping to try the BAed 3Beans. Also, used to LOVE Diesel. But I think I may have been in the minority there.

    + 1 on 3Beans for sure. Really they make lots of great beers but 3Beans would be my fav.

    Just had RAD for the first time recently. It is a great beer, but my favorite that they make so far has to be Resin. It is just so sticky and dank.

    That's what RAD is designed for...part refreshment, part quencher, part intoxicator!

    You definitely were not part of the minority in DIESEL...but its going to evolve into a new formulation come winter 2015. Look out!

    and on draft right now in select locations...

    did you try the Hi-Res yet?

    I have tried the Hi-Res. It is very good as well. I like the Resin better. Probably a top 10 beer for me! Rad is a top 5 in terms of uniqueness.

    Hard to get it in Savannah, but I search it out when I go to other cities that have 'real' bottle shops.

    Resin, doesn't get the respect that it deserves.

    Don't get me wrong, I love all your beers especially Hi Res, Resin, and the lower abv offerings, however, if I need a summer shandy, there are other alternatives I've found more refreshing and lighter, and not as heavy. RAD is something I can see someone pouring over ice to dilute the thickness and prevent it from getting warmer.

    Sounds like it just went from the worst beer you ever tasted to not so bad after all (with slight amendment)! ;-)

    I keep going back and forth between the crisp and sweet action as my favorite. They're both amazing and endlessly drinkable

    The Crisp FTW. I just wish this beer was more readily available. Perfect summer beer.

    Hi Res was incredible. Like liquid IPA candy!

    Man I wish I had one right now...

    3Beans hands down. Glad I found two 4packs recently.

    With Hi Res second.

    Gemini, far and away. That was a world-class 10% IPA. Where has it gone??

    Im a huge Sixpoint fan. Out of the regular lineup, I would say The Crisp and Resin. When we are talking about their seasonal beers, I love Autumnation. That beer represents the fall season perfectly.

    Do you have trouble getting the other beers?

    where did you find these 4packs?

    We decided to gracefully retire this beer as our friends over at Southern Tier are using this name for one of their beers. Rather than get in a battle of "I was here first" we figured we would reincarnate the beer as a new one. :-)

    If you like Autumnation....looking forward to showing you what we have in store this year.
