Righteous Ale - Sixpoint Brewery

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

16oz. can poured into my trusty mug.

A- a cloudy brown with orange hues as well. A pillowy khaki head lies on top with good retention and great lacing.

S- Sixpoints yeast, with citric hop character, spicy rye, and a malty sweetness.

T- a sugary sweetness starts it, but gives was to the hops. They are actually quite complex on the beginning of the sip, piney, earthy, and citric as well. The spicy rye comes in midway, and gives way to a really nice biscuity sweetness on the back end. The hop bitterness is there the entire time to balance, and the aftertaste is a nice balance between the hops, sweet malts, and yeastyness.

M- really nice creamy medium bodied mouthfeel with a reserved carbonation that moves the taste along the palette.

O- the best rye beer I've ever had. Downright fantastic.

(Served in a Nonic)
A- This beer pours a dense walnut brown body that glows at the base with strands of microbubbles leading to a sticky thick head that has some nice lacing.

S- The yeasty ester aroma is almost bubble gum in character with a dark dry toffee and grain spice to follow

T- The slight sweetness leads to an earthy spicy to a full on green herbal hop flavor that lingers in the aftertaste with some roasted malt notes popping up. The dry finish helps enhance the malt character.

M- The medium mouthfeel has a gentle crisp fizz in the finish.

O- This is a nice dry rye beer with a good balance of dark malt and dark hop mixed in.

Ruby red pour with a dense shaving cream off-white head.

Aromas of rye grain, malt and spice. Also a tinny smell, in a pilsner fashion, throws me off.

Rye and malt. Yea pretty straight forward. Spiciness from the rye is delicious.

Refreshing, creamy and sassifying.

Pretty darn good for a rye brew. Nice change of pace in my citra hop world. Will definitely buy again.

Brown and red hued liquid with an off white creamy head. Nose is all malt and rye. Nice balance of roasted malt and rye. Nice sweetness to it. Also a bit of smoke and spice. A simple yet tasty brew that shows how good rye can be. Overall a very delicious and enjoyable beer. Recommended.
