Club & Brewer Notes:
It's been less than a year since we released our four core beers in cans, and we're ecstatic to announce a new addition to the flock. This isn't a seasonal release, like the Autumnation of last fall or Diesel, still going around this winter. It isn't our upcoming spring seasonal can, either. It's a never-before-released, big beer in a slim, 12 oz. can with a potent burst of hops and as strong as an ox: Resin. We zeroed in on the botanical structure of the hop cone to get to the essence of this beer. When hops are at their peak maturity, their cores swell up with a sticky, golden, resinous substance that is the flavor you crave from an IPA. WIth an IBU of 103 and ABV of 9.1%, Resin can be loosely described as a double IPA - but rarely do Sixpoint beers adhere to any strict style demands.
