Dammit, TBN, making me go look stuff up...

OK, update: Only about a month ago Sixpoint moved from 4 packs of 16oz cans to 6 packs of 12oz cans in the US.

For their IPA, this came with a "tweak" (their words) in the recipe (different hop profile, a slight uptick in ABV, higher IBUs, and swapping out some crystal for carapils) and a renaming:
[list:1p6xujmc]It's now just "Bengali" - no "Tiger" ('Spoons menu notwithstanding.) [/list:u:1p6xujmc]

So, technically it's no longer the same beer so I'll say nothing further until I drink one or twelve of them at Three Tun.

Since the packaging probably has to be different for Europe anyway I could see them sticking with the old name for export, since it's on all JDW menus already. By coincidence I'll have a review of the set on my blog tomorrow.

The new Bengali is reported to be a bit more citrusy and less dank than the old one, for what it's worth.

Didn't really like the old one.

New recipe shipped on May 12th and BBD are 180 days out from canning, so count backwards and you can figure out which one you're drinking.
