16 oz. Aluminum Can
Been trying to find a couple of lighter beers to review, Sixpoint The Crisp looked like a good German pilsner to break that ice with.
Pours a light golden orange. About an inch of white foam, slowly disintegrates and rests at about a quarter of an inch eventually. Carbonation is evident just by looking at it. Very floral/citrus-y nose to this beer. Light and refreshing. But in a pleasing way. There's also some depth with a little extra sweetness and a tint of hop bitterness. To be honest, I wasn't sure pilsners could smell this good. First taste reveals a subtle sweetness - a little bit of lemon and orange, maybe a hint of sourness from green apple. Some floral notes in the taste too - weird saying it this way, but a little grassy, in a pleasant way. A bit of hop aftertaste, but nothing crazy, which compliments the beer nicely. Carbonation is moderately evident - though the amount of carbonation works really well with the style. At 5.4% ABV, this is an extremely drink-able beer (the alcohol presence is about as noticeable as it would be in a Bud Lite, though this tastes way better).
Beer finishes very nicely. The only word that I can think to describe the finish is crisp. Sixpoint delivers on the name. One of the better pils I've had. It tastes great, high drink-ability, but I'd have to say what really blew me away the most about this one was the scent.
Overall Rating: 4/5
