Sixpoint’s Sweet Action opens with a moderately-low lemon, piney hop aroma with faint hints of sweet caramel. Pithy fruit is also apparent. It’s a bit darker than most cream ales – coming in at more of a dark amber/light copper color with substantial haze.  

It’s a finely-flavored beer that emphasizes caramel, orange and grainy malt elements. The medium-low bitterness helps to balance the beer and a quality, clean fermentation allows for a semi-dry finish with caramel and orange notes lingering into the aftertaste. A moderate body with above-average carbonation help to increase the drinkability of the beer.

Sweet Action is a great addition to your beer fridge for the Spring and Fall months as it’s more refreshing than its hop-forward nature would suggest. If you’re looking for a typical corn-forward cream ale or an ultra light beer you won’t find it here, though..
