Summer Sesh

Tap to rate

Summer Sesh brings the chill when the season is heating up: a crisp, light 5.3% lager with a light bitterness, made to be crushed whether you are waterside or cityside. It comes from Sixpoint in Brooklyn, which began in 2004 as a draft-only brewery in Red Hook and has put its beers into cans since 2010. Ride that summer wave as long as you can.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and light, with a delicate malt foundation of bread crust and soft grain sweetness. Moderate bitterness arrives in the mid-palate at 22 IBUs, offering balance rather than assertiveness. The finish dries cleanly, leaving behind minimal residual sweetness and a refreshing snap.
