While checking out a local liquor store, I found the retired 105.7 The Point 21^(
st) Birthday Brew from [Six Row Brewing](http://sixrowbrewco.com/). The brewery 
recently shut down, but is looking to re-open in a new location. I took a chance
on this beer, as it’s over a year old (but I listen to the Point almost every day;
Six Row has done collaborations with local radio stations). Was it worth picking
up at this point?

**Style:** American Dark Wheat Ale
 **ABV:** 5.00% **Offering:** 22 oz Bomber

**Appearance:** The beer poured a dark brown in the pint glass, which surprised 
me since I was expecting a typical wheat beer. There was a good 2 fingers of cream
colored head. There was little retention and a small amount of lacing.

**Smell:** I primarily got the sweet malt smell along with wheat; there were also
traces of the pale malt. The smell wasn’t bad overall.

**Taste:** Here’s the issue; the beer didn’t hold up. It was like they were trying
to mix sweet and sour in a wheat beer. After that, it was pretty bland.

**Mouth:** Again, bland. Nothing really stood out about the feel of the beer.

**Overall:** Disappoint in this one. I would hope that it was better when it came
out and just aged badly. It’s sad since the KSHE beers were pretty good. I will 
say I drank the whole bomber and it wasn’t sent down the drain. This is middle of
the road (and I’d probably still drink it over a Bud Light).

The [Beer Advocate](http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/21631/117313/) score
is N/A, as there have only been 6 ratings; no score from the Bros either. (It also
wouldn’t let me rank it since the beer is retired and the brewery is closed)

The Untappd app has 229 ratings with an average of 3.18.

**My Score:** 2.5 out of 5
 [⌊2.5⌉](https://i0.wp.com/www.nyrdcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/2.5.png?ssl=1)

(The new scoring…an empty pint glass is a good thing. The more full glasses, the
worse the beer is.)
