The resurgence of the India Pale Ale as a popular style has only accelerated in recent years. The American palate has rediscovered the abundant and diverse range of flavors contributed by the brewers’ spice, hops, and subsequently has demanded beers with more hop character. But we at Sixpoint wholeheartedly believe a well-crafted IPA should not flaunt its hops; it should present them with grace. Underneath the aggressive bitter hop flavor there should be a comforting, sweet malt foundation that cradles the palate. The Bengali Tiger entices you with an aroma of citrus, pine and spice and unleashes a wave of bitterness upfront. Yet it strides forward at a steady pace, smooth as a tiger’s gait, and finishes balanced. Notice the lacing stripes around the glass as you finish your pint—it’s the mark of the Bengali Tiger. 6.8% ABV
