The beer that started it all… Red Nectar was considered a strange bird when it was first released in 1987.

The unmistakable flavor of a Bavarian Wheat, but with a clear golden brilliance and a Sixpoint twist. An entirely unique canned offering for the sun-worshipping ale lovers.

Imperial or Double India Pale Ales have intense hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. Alcohol content is medium-high to high and notably evident. They range from deep golden to medium copper in color. The style may use any variety of hops. Though the hop character is intense it’s balanced with complex alcohol flavors, moderate to high fruity esters and medium to high malt character. Hop character should be fresh and lively and should not be harsh in quality. The use of large amounts of hops may cause a degree of appropriate hop haze.

This second offering in the ongoing Mad Scientists line of beers is named the "Berserker Bock" in reference to an obscure but significant cultural fact – beer played a significant role in the very influential Viking period in Medieval Europe. The "Berserkers" had brewers accompany them on their voyages, and the brewers would collaborate with local medicine men and forage for herbs, spices, and extra ingredients to place into their brews.

No other beer offers the finesse of a Belgian Ale. Enriched by a myriad of fruity esters and spicy phenols, Belgian ales display a fluffy, eternal head, a hearty body, and a gloriously mellow, soft and round finish.
