    Agreed. The consumer is fickle (including myself) and when the quality is similar they will always gravitate towards the brand that makes it easiest for them.

    If it's a toss-up for me between Bengali, Two-Hearted, or Daisy Cutter, I ignore the Bengali and go for whichever of the latter two are fresher.

    Happy to say we already discussed this item yesterday at Sixpoint, and we are moving forward with a new code dating system to address your concerns. Our plan is to have this rolled out this Spring along with a couple of other key innovations.

    Thanks for your feedback here, we appreciate it.

    That's what I love about you guys, I can't think of another company (let alone brewery) that so directly responds to their customer's ideas and suggestions. A canned-on date will significantly increase the amount of Sixpoint I buy!

    This is tha best release of Hi-Res yet to my pallette. Candied pineapple just jumps out at you above all the other fruity aromas. Just an absolutely stunning beer. Great job Sixpoint! I have been drinking it for the last 2 weeks and sharing it with friends and even those that don't care for hoppy beer appreciate it. Every year I wait for hi-res season and this year was really worth the wait.

    I don't know if I like it better than last year's, but it's at least as equally good. Still stands up as one of the best triple IPAs out there.

    Saw it in south central CT yesterday. Already had my cart over my budget, but I am hoping it will be there when I go back.

    I'm drinking the new batch right now - you guys smashed it. I'm getting grape, pineapple and fresh greenery. Pleasant bitterness. A soft, clean feel. There's booze, but it too is clean. Refined and well done!

    To echo a few others, this year's Hi-Res is the best I've had yet.

    @Sixpoint love Hi-Res this year. Wasn't as huge of a fan of last years but this year's is lacking that syrupy feel that dragged it down a little bit. Awesome stuff.

    On another note, when is C.R.E.A.M. coming out again?

    Funny you asked - it was canned today and will be on shelves by next week.
