Tonight's beer: Sixpoint Global Warmer
Explosively bitter to start—musk and flowers, citrus and pine and grass—butting against bready-caramel sweetness. Maybe some toast around the edges. Dries out quickly and completely.
Medium-bodied, lots of scrubbing carbonation. A bit of chewiness, a lot of resinous-syrupy stickiness. Eventually drying and cleansing and impressively refreshing.
A superb American amber/red ale, tilting more than a little toward the IPA side of the style. Intense as hell and reasonably complex, wonderfully well-balanced and -integrated. Stupefyingly drinkable. Though most of what I've had from Sixpoint have been hoppy beers—and those have all been excellent—but everything I've had from them has been worth returning to; this is no exception to any of that.
