537. Sixpoint Brewery (Brooklyn, NY) - Stooper

Okay, this one has two descriptions; and since I genuinely can’t decide which one is better, y’all are getting both. Here we go.

"THE BEER-AFTER-YOUR-SHIFT and the beer-on-your-day-off. You know. At the park, in the shower, or CHILLIN’ ON THE STOOP - there’s NOTHIN’ BETTER. Stooper™, a 6.4% Hazy IPA-FOR-THE-GOOD-TIMES, is bursting with TROPICAL and CITRUSY aromas from copious Galaxy and Citra hops. GRAB A STEP."

And all of those words in caps are in bold on the website description—I’m sorry, The Story. We also have Lab Notes; to wit:

"A soft and light hazy, the Galaxy and Citra hops come together for a beer made to be crushed!"

Oy. You can’t crush a beer that’s 6.4% ABV. But as to what I think of it otherwise…yeah, okay. It’s tropical up front, mostly papaya, but there’s a bit of citrus shine on the back end. I suppose that tropical could be guava, but I don’t have a good sense of what guava tastes like on its own. Apart from the writing, the beer is fine; but that writing is so fucking bad that I can’t quite get past it. Also, I like to drink beer way more than the average bear (which prolly ain't news if you stop by my internet diner at all regularly)—but in the fucking shower? I think not. Even me. Take that for what you will.
