3Beans

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: 3Beans

• Brewery: Six Points Brewing Company (New York)

• Style: Baltic Porter

• ABV: 10%

• IBU: 85

• Pour Color: Extremely dark and light is slow to pass thru

      The pour came out dark as a porter should. The scent is strong with a sweet chocolate fig scent. The alcohol also comes through on the bouquet.  The head frosted up but disappeared quickly. Chocolate and fig are also in the flavor as you sip. On the swallow comes the strong roasted tones of coffee with the alcohol taste. The roasted malt coffee flavor echos long after the liquor taste though. It's not often a beer has me talking about hops after the malts but that's this beer. At 85 IBU, they add some nice brightness in this dark beer, but not much. This really  is a porter that makes even a mustache dizzy!
      If you drink beers cause they may be smoother then liquor, this is not the beer for you. First sip and any-ones mustache is gonna curl. Give it another chance though! It's taste two or three that you realize how good this is. The coffee and the chocolate make it not so heavy hitting. Malty, bitter, and demands to be enjoyed not just chugged, a really great dark beer!

Autumnation

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Autumnation

• Brewery: Six Points Brewing Company (New York)

• Style: Pumpkin Ale (More A Pale)

• ABV: 6.7%

• IBU: 74

• Pour Color: A totally transparent orange, amber.

      This one raged out the can. The head was high and pretty thick at the top the glass. Fought this mustache to a stand still. It would be hanging around as a fluffy island in the glass for a long time. Residue of that head went down the glass  as i drank. The scent off the top is a bitter orange peel and a pine kick. You can really smell a difference in wet hops. The color is a nice see through orange. The kind of color you expect from autumn. The spices you expect from a pumpkin ale are really toned down in this. You get a slight pumpkin but it's more about those hops. The flavor is strong tones of citrus, pine and a balance from the pumpkin. A well ballenced beer that I'll swim in again and again.
      Ahhhhh a december posting about a pumpkin ale... I know, it isn't the season anymore. Yet I'm still finding Autumnation and I shouldn't be. This has been one of my favorite beers for a couple of weeks now. A pumpkin that has this kind of kick of hops can't be ignored by true hop head mustaches. The can says to get one by the end of December so get your face's on that!

Bengali Tiger

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Bengali Tiger

• Brewery: Sixpoint Brewing Company (New York)

• Style: IPA

• ABV: 6.4%

• IBU: 62

• Pour Color: A slightly murky orange color.

       The head came up on the pour, it was about a finger high out of the can. It sat at that level for about half the beer. A nice hazy orange color in the glass. The scent off the glass was a nice pine and lemon kick. Not much of the malts in the smell though. On taste it's more of a grapefruit flavor and pine mix in the taste. The malts are just sweet enough with the caramel flavor to balance this delicious beer. Amazing how good it is. 
       Another sixpoint beer and another amazing one. This had all that you could ask from a IPA. A lot of hop flavor kicks this one off and ends it well. Somewhere in the middle you get that nice taste of malts that makes it a real great experience. I know it's rough but it's another one that you gotta try! So... Go get it!

Apollo

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Apollo

• Brewery: Sixpoints Brewing Company (New York)

• Style: Krystalweizen

• ABV: 5.2

• IBU:11

• Pour Color: A light yellow color, Has a cloudiness

      A summer wheat again and another totally different take on it. Smelling the top you get that nice clove scent, a fresh bread too,  and then a weird fruity medley. The head fluffed up quick and was gone quickly. No match for this mustache. The color was a real hazy gold. The taste I found very offsetting from the get go. This is supposed to be a sour style but this was beyond what I enjoy. It was more a banana cider taste then anything else. A fruit medley flavor with a backing of the clove. Vary strange and not to delicious to me. I could see where some could find this refreshing but I didn't. 
      This just wasn't my type of wheat beer. The only Krystalweizen i've ever had I can't really compare. Being a almost hefe but then brightening it with a lot of fruit flavors that just overpowers the beer taste to me. This would be a great beer to cook with but drinking it again really isn't on the Face's agenda so I won't be swimming in it soon...

Righteous Ale

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Righteous Ale

• Brewery: Sixpoint Brewery (New York)

• Style: Rye Beer

• ABV: 6.4%

• IBU: 57

• Pour Color: A golden slightly brown color.

      On Pour this one was quite hazy with a nice fluffy head. The scent off the glass was the rye in this one. The hops had a scent of grass and pine. Tasting it you get huge tones of the rye. Giving it both a spicy taste and bitter aspect really adds to this beer. Then the hops comes pine and citrus flavors. Really much more malty flavor in this real hoppy beer then most. Unique and delicious!
      This is a huge malt fest with that rye and tastes quite spicy. Really a bread in a bottle taste to it. I found it to be great but those who don't like rye should avoid it. This isn't the type of beer the Face would get normally, but I'm glad he did.

Resin

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Resin
  

• Brewery: Six Points (New York)

• Style:Imperial IPA

• ABV: 9.1%

• IBU: 103

• Pour Color: Transparent red color

      Just seeing the can you know it's something different. The head on the pour was big and fluffy and hung around for a few sips. The smell off the glass is nice and hoppy. You get a floral earthy scent off the glass from the dry hopping. The malts give this one a nice sweet flavor in the mouth. The variety of flavors in the hops is amazing. Floral, citrus and even spicy tones are in this one. Just a huge bouquet of flavors that this mustache really loved.
      This is one of those beers I'm gonna say you need to try! A great beer that any hop head would love. At 9.1% this one could easily leave you stumbling in the four packs they offer it in. This is one of the best all around beers I've been soaked in. What are you waiting for? GO GET ONE NOW!
