Sixpoint Brewery is debuting Resin in the present day, in a novel can. The 12oz bundle is as tall as a 16oz tallboy, however a lot slimmer. It’s one for hop lovers. I took a couple of liberties with the press launch:
Usually loved on draft and served in smaller glasses, double IPA beers are naturally robust and strikingly hoppy. They’re brewed with roughly twice the quantity of hops within the common IPA, and have a significantly increased alcohol content material. The hops’ essence is produced inside hop cones at peak maturity, when their cores swell up with a sticky golden secretion – or resin. This bounty of pure contemporary taste is the straightforward inspiration for Resin. To conjure the inexperienced petals of the cones, Resin cans are designed with a lush inexperienced background and golden-bronze accents to represent the dear resin inside every cone.
The can is as tall as a tallboy, however skinny:
For such a definite beer, Sixpoint Brewery has chosen to supply them in distinctive 12-ounce can four-packs in addition to on draft. The cans are an identical in peak to the remainder of the year-round canned choices from the brewery (Candy Motion, Bengali Tiger, Righteous Ale and The Crisp) in addition to seasonal releases (Diesel and Autumnation to this point). Nonetheless, their “modern” form contributes to smaller four-can packages. Resin might be offered on the similar retail value as its different canned choices, delivering worth for followers of specialty craft beers.
