Sixpoint Sehr Crisp Pilsner

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

4.3/5

AROMA
8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20

16 ounce can, best by Sept 29,2011. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a fairly dense 2 finger white head with great retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap that lasts. Some decent lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of honey, bread, lemon, grass, citrus, and a bit of spiciness. Very nice and inviting aromas. Taste of big breadiness, with lemon, grass, and citrus. Finishes with a grassy and spicy hop bitterness that is decently strong and lingers for a bit with lemon and citrus sweetness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body. Nice crisp and refreshing finish, as expected. Extremely drinkable and delicious stuff with no alcohol in the taste or finish. Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Outstanding stuff, and a perfect summer beverage I would drink on a hot day.

Fantastic Pilsner, definitely one of the best I have had!

4.3/5

AROMA
8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20

16 ounce can, best before Sept. 20, 2011. Pours hazy orange amber color with a 2 finger off white head with good retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap. Aromas of orange, grapefruit, pine and other light fruits. Nice hoppy aromas, a bit light as well. Taste of tons of light fruitiness; honey, orange, spices, breadiness, and a bit of apricot. Big sweetness in the front and on the finish, with a bit of bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body. Extremely drinkable and smooth. No alcohol in the taste or finish as expected. This is my first cream ale, and it is outstanding, extremely drinkable and tasty as well.

More greatness from Sixpoint, as I had hoped. I am really liking their canned offerings.

Some decent lacing is left on the glass as well. Aromas of caramel, chocolate, roasted malt, spicy rye, pine, and citrus. A lot of interesting aromas going on here, great stuff. Taste of caramel, rye, chocolate, pine, bread, nuttiness, and some citrus. Mostly malty sweetness on the front with a decent amount of bitterness on the finish that lingers for a bit with caramel, chocolate, bread, and pine. Medium-full bodied with medium carbonation. No alcohol noticed in the taste or finish. Decent amount of creaminess in the mouthfeel as well. Nice balance as well between sweetness and bitterness, with the sweetness being slightly stronger. Overall, an excellent rye ale, highly enjoyable and very drinkable stuff.

A great rye beer, and I easily finished off the 4 pack I purchased. Very easy drinking and sessionable stuff as well.
