Sixpoint Express

Brewed by Sixpoint Craft Ales
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Brooklyn, New York USA

On tap at the Peekskill Brewery. Pours a hazy tawny amber with a medium beige head. Sweet plum, a little rubbing alcohol, banana, and a bit of coffee. Medium thick body. Boozy and sweet with some caramel, and dark fruit. Finishes rather gummy and grainy with more alcohol, and some caramel.

On tap at The Ginger Man.Good mouthfeel and lacing. Yeasty aroma and yeasty sweet. Not a bad quad, but not the best I have had of the style.

Smells like high quality fruit snacks, spice citrus. Light with a touch of lace. Mild spice and almost bitter. Not your typical quad... Not half bad.

This beer has eluded me for quite some time, and now I’ve finally found it, in the form of a growler fill from Big Z - anyway, it certainly is quite light in color for a quad - actually, nothing about this beer is like a quad - BSA, sure - the nose is coriander, tangy citrus and cereal grains - the flavor is quite the same - a lot of grainy flavor - equal parts wheaty tang and boozy sweetness - the alcohol burns a little bit, but is still fairly hidden - a touch of bitter herbs - mostly just grainy and boozy, with a touch of overripe fruit sweetness- the wheat and clove phenols remind one of an imperial hefe - a bit messy, and not true to style, but an interesting beer.

Tap @ Cambridge Commons... Poured hazy orange with a thin white head. Fruity, sweet aroma with a little bit of alcohol. Smooth, mildly carbonated palate with a foamy texture. Lots of alcohol notes in the initial flavor with cloves and tea leaf characters. Had caramel malts and hops in the finish. Would have never guessed this was a quad ale, but still pretty tasty.

Draft at Rattle ’n Hum. Poured a cloudy medium orange color with an off white head. The nose was of clove, dark fruits, alcohol, and a bit of citrusy orange. Medium to full bodied and spicy with moderate to high carbonation. Lots of clove flavor accompanied by a warming alcohol effect and alcohol flavor. Citrus and dark fruit flavors also emerged. While this beer didn’t exactly bowl me over, I liked it.

Growler, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing! Pours a hazy amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of sugar, spices, citrus, currants and hops. Taste is sharp and sweet, of grass, citrus, sugar, spices. Hides the alcohol well. Lingering spice. Not bad.

Draft. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Etoh latent fruit, plastic, apples and pear. Some toffee and caramel. Decent.
