Once our eyes were opened to the potential of the hop cone, we couldn’t be stopped. With a laser focus, we magnified the hop factor, and pushed the boundaries of flavor, aroma, and perception itself to create HI-RES. It’s Mad Science.

12(355ml) tall, skinny can. Copper orange aluminum with typical Sixpoint artwork. Green and black on a white field. Poured into a stemmed Port style/ipa glass.

A - orangish dark golden color. Glowing and hazy. Bright white head poured with very good size leaving behind a ring of lace trailing with nice stick.

S - big tropical fruit, candied mango and pineapple. Sugar and caramel malt with a bit of resin and hop spice. Alcohol esters tickle the nose but is very well balanced so far.

T - gushing tropical fruit, mango, pineapple and a candied light fruitiness. Resinous hops taste crazy fresh and fruity. Sugary caramel malt plays a key roll in the insanely balanced flavor. Alcohol creeps into the finish but is a smooth hop ride. Outstanding

M - big and full bodied. Lots of intense flavor and almost crazy drinkable. It's dang smooth and gushes the mouth with wonderful flavors. Coats very well and the texture and thickness is out of this world. Easy to get carried away considering this drinks nothing like the abv it packs.

O - hot damn, do we have a winner or what??? I still have 2-3 favorite dipa's that have stood the test of time, but geez is this thing close. I mean, Sixpoint have a real stud of a Dipa with Hi-Res. It has the flavor and complexity with a world class balance that will only turn heads. This should in no way be a limited release. This is a thoroughbred race horse of an ale that should be slotted right in to their rotation. Better yet, can this jewel year round. It's just a stunning work of art from the Big Apple.

This is probably too much for me in the abv dept, but pretty darn impressive to hide most any of the booze behind a wall of hops. This one's got some bite to it, glad I tried it and wish there were others from this brewer available locally.

"Best by 7/10/15"; drank 3/2/15 @ the Yarchives.

See-through orange appearance. HUGE off-white head; frothy lace.

Orange zest, pine, fresh water & a hint of booze heat in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Honey, pine needle & caramel flavors up front; orange citrus zest & faint booze heat on the finish.

Sweet & boozy but with enough caramel ballast for balance. Nice.

Wow. I can’t believe they crammed that much booze into this thing. Big IPA done right. Could have used a little more head but maybe you don’t get much of that in this style. No excessive sweetness or bitterness to counteract the alcohol, and no excessive alcohol taste. Bonus points for coming in cans. And not 16 ounce cans. I have no idea why some of the other big IPAs are showing up in the 16 ounce cans.
