Sixpoint Bengali Tiger IPA

American IPA

Sixpoint, Brooklyn, New York, USA

I RATE THIS BEER: 91

RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 7.0% | IBU’s. 80 // THE NOSE: Whole Wheat Bread, Golden Syrup, Dry Roasted Peanut, Brown Sugar, Polished Wood // THE TASTE: Preserved Lemon, Black Walnut, Bran Muffin, Leather // THE BOTTOMLINE: Maintaining bold and carefully balanced flavors throughout, this IPA evokes the traditional British India Pale style a lot more than its does its flowery and citrus juice laden American cousin. An underlying worn leathery and nutty earthiness softens the robust bitterness just enough to make this an absolute beauty to drink. If you like session IPA’s, but fancy taking a little vacation to a place closer to the styles historical origins, this Brooklynite could be just your ticket. // THE BACKBONE: Cascade, Centennial, Simcoe and Amarillo Hops, Dry-hopped with a rotating blend of Columbus, Sterling and Cascade Hops, American, Canadian and English Two-Row Malts, Sixpoints House Yeast Strain. // PRICE POINT: $10 | 1x 64oz growler //
