Resin- Another Sixpoint Brewery smash!

Hey! This is my first beer review in a while, and it's a good one. The beer in question is Resin, Sixpoint Brewery's Double IPA offering. I'll tell you all this, the can packs a serious hop wallop! Upon pouring it into a snifter glass, the aroma was one of a piney, grassy, citrusy nature, mellowed out by the malt. Upon first sip, their is enough bitterness to wake up the palate, but also enough hoppiness and malty character to balance it out. It goes down very smoothly and refreshing. This beer, according to Everett (gourmet manager), comes close enough towards the hoppy complexity of Dogfish 90 Minute, and as I was sipping it through, he was justified in his statement. This is one very good beer, and brings the goods (hop balance, great complexity). It is another winner from Sixpoint Brewey (www.sixpoint.com). Food pairings: Burger and fries, fish and chips, light Mexican fare.
