Sixpoint Global Warmer

Six point Global Warmer. 7.0% alc. by vol. 70 IBU. Six point Cycliquids. (Not sure what that means. Okay, I get it now: "seasonals.") Formulated by the mad scientists, Sixpoint Brewery, Brooklyn, New York.

Clear, bright amber/bronze coloring, prodigious level of foam, slow to drift down, leaving some lace.

Aroma is potent, pithy, and powerful. Some would say, but not I, "dank." Rich, fruity esters, major bitterness.

In the mouth: very smooth, loads of malt in this, Bitterness is easily matched by sweet, lush malt. Plenty of fruit, a little spicy, lots of warmth, a little toasty.  Beautiful. A gorgeous blend. Pressed to name a style, I'd call it a winter IPA. A hoppy winter ale. Something. Whatever it is, it drinks down a dream, and, yeah, it's good.
