\"\"<\/a>Sixpoint is one of those breweries that my roomie Nick and I trust implicitly. \u00c2\u00a0If I see a new brew of their’s I have to try it, knowing I’ll probably like, if not love, what I drink. \u00c2\u00a0So it shouldn’t be a surprise that early in the week both Nick and I showed up at home, on the same day, having\u00c2\u00a0interdependently stopped by a bodega, seen Resin (the new Sixpoint brew, which neither of us had heard about), and brought it home.<\/p>\n

The Details<\/em>:<\/p>\n

It’s an\u00c2\u00a0American Double\/Imperial IPA with a 9.10% ABV and IBU of 103. \u00c2\u00a0Serving type: can.<\/p>\n

[As an aside, the following link is a GREAT visual depiction of the relationship between different kinds of beer: \u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/popchartlab.com\/collections\/prints\/products\/the-very-very-many-varieties-of-beer<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0WARNING: \u00c2\u00a0before you click be prepared to spend 30-45 minutes looking at the graphic. \u00c2\u00a0I’m seriously thinking about buying the poster, framing it, and putting up in my kitchen… or my office. \u00c2\u00a0Okay, on with the Resin talk.]<\/p>\n

Appearance: \u00c2\u00a0When first poured, it has cloudy copper color. \u00c2\u00a0But, if you can managed to hold off on drinking it all for 20 minutes or so, the cloud clears to a clear amber rust.<\/p>\n

Smell: \u00c2\u00a0Hops and yeast. \u00c2\u00a0I have a bit of a cold at the moment, so there might more hiding in there.<\/p>\n

Mouth: \u00c2\u00a0Very hoppy, but very well balanced. \u00c2\u00a0There is some up front hoppy-sweetness that fades to a nice roasted hoppy finish. \u00c2\u00a0When I say finish, I mean finish–the stuff coats your mouth (almost like resin?) with long lingering flavor of hops that makes you want another sip. \u00c2\u00a0The texture is a high octane mix between crisp hops playing\/battling with\u00c2\u00a0thick.<\/p>\n

Overall: \u00c2\u00a0I’m a big fan. \u00c2\u00a0It’s strong and hoppy, no doubt, but somehow also balanced enough for easy drinking. \u00c2\u00a0I think it would pair great with any meats coming off the grill. \u00c2\u00a0There is not a lot of complexity,\u00c2\u00a0particularly\u00c2\u00a0compared\u00c2\u00a0to Sixpoint’s Sweet Action<\/a>; Resin is\u00c2\u00a0just a great beer. \u00c2\u00a0It’s been a while since I’ve gotten excited about an IPA and \u00c2\u00a0I’m very glad Sixpoint came along with Resign just in time for summer!<\/p>\n
