Sixpoint Sweet Action

Brewed by Sixpoint Craft Ales
Style: Cream Ale
Brooklyn, New York USA

On tap, was a transparent medium dark copper. Aroma of pine and citrus. Head was pretty decent. Palate very wet and fairly thin, but not detracting. Flavor was sweet up front but transitioned to a nice deep bitterness, a little dirty. sweetness is less noticeable as you continue drinking and didn’t go well at all with my lombardi’s pizza. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed it before pizza came, would definitely get again.

Straw colored with slight malt aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet with a dry finish. Those looking for a lighter style brew would find this to be a good option. On tap at The Shep.

Clear copper in color with a white head. Caramel citrusy hoppy aroma. Citrusy hoppy sweet flavor. Caramel notes. Medium bodied. Finish is sweet. Decent beer.

This is a hoppy blonde ale, with citrus and some sweetness. The flavor develops and changes and is it passes along the palate. Brussels meets Brooklyn - excellent - another fine one from Sixpoint.

Pours a clear copper. Aroma of some citrus with some caramel and bread. Flavor is somewhat citrusy sweet with some hop backbone to carry you along.

Draft at MacGregors in Rochester. Pours hazy brown with a thin off white head. Lightly sweet aroma with notes of apple, chestnut, caramel and hops. Medium body. Flavor is similar to the aroma but with a more pronounced fruity note. Pretty good.

On tap @ Hop Devil in NYC. This is a cream ale? It’s far too good for that label. Pours clear copper with a good sized light tan head. The aroma has lots of hops that have floral traits and are smooth and soft along with lightly sweet malt. Medium crisp body with moderate carbonation. The taste starts off very hoppy with spiciness and pine. It starts off crisp and then gets resiny. Some cream ale malt is detectable in the background, but this is definitely a hop-fronted beer. The finish is resiny and hoppy ~ no surprise there. A very good cream ale.

Tap at Hop Devil. Golden amber with decent big bubble head. Muted aroma of citrus grapefruit/lemon and herbal/floral hops with caramel, bready malt. Mild flavor is similar with some additional peach/apricot fruit notes. Beer flavor amplifies at the finish which is citrus hoppy and dry. Thin to medium bodied.
