saw this one at the bottle shop and it kinda leaped off the stack at me so i had to pick some up, as my ipa kick seems to be unquenchable

poured this one into a pint glass at home, i know its not the right glass but its all i had at the time.

poured a deep amber color which surprised me but definitely not complaining! perfect head on top it was cream like a cappucino and very rocky and uneven. looks mysterious!

smell was very unique and not what i was expecting at all. deep pine aroma and lots of crazy fruit smells but also underneath all of that you get a malt and cracker aroma. like there's a rich malt underneath a lot piney hops

the taste matched smell in stride and had a nice balance to a really assertive hop character. wow at 9.1% you can barely tell

overall this beer is very deceptive considering its drinkability, very nice

I really like the head on this beer... Great retention, but larger bubbles than I'm used to seeing from IPAs; but the lacing is fairly poor. The aroma is very floral and super hoppy but with a candy-like sweetness behind. The taste is great for the style, but this isn't my IPA. Too much of piney/resinous hop character. I admit that it is well balanced and has the great hop forwardness people enjoy in DIPAs; however, I just can't get into this beer. I find this beer a tad thin for a DIPA too. I do enjoy the hop bite on my tongue. I'll definitely suggest this beer for people who like more pine or resin or earth in their IPAS.

Resin is a fantastic looking DIPA. Huge head, hazy orange body with visible carbonation, it's what I want to see when I pop open a double IPA. The aroma is big and sweet, with sweet tropical hops and sweet caramel malts. The taste isn't quite as sweet as the nose, with some more hop bitterness kicking its way through. It's a balanced bitterness, as the bitter and sweet aspects from the hops are kinda in a tug-of-war the whole time. The mouthfeel is on the heavy side and moderately carbonated, and the drinkability is great. Overall, Sixpoint Resin is a great DIPA.
