Having previously tried the Sixpoint Bengali Tiger and, a
couple of weeks ago, Sweet Action, I only needed one more beer to complete the
Sixpoint ‘set’ of all three beers currently stocked by Wetherspoons. By a happy
coincidence I found myself in The Fox on the Hill in south London last weekend
and by happier coincidence, a sign outside the pub announced a special offer on
Sixpoint cans which were available for just £1.99 a pop. The Crisp is a
pilsener so I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this one anywhere near as much as its
hoppy siblings. Now I’m far from being a fan of lager but having said that, I’ve
never gone out of my way to try any particularly good lager either. This was
unlike any other lager I can remember drinking. The pour was a hazy yellow with
plenty of bubbles. Its light on the palate but there is some definite hints of grass
and citrus fruits in here rendering it quite bitter (for a lager, at least). I
enjoyed it, perfect for the summer when you want something light yet with a bit
of flavour and it was refreshing and highly drinkable. Ok so it doesn’t compare
favourably to the other two Sixpoint beers available in ‘Spoons, but then they’re
both really great.
