Never gave it a thought. Here is what AI has to say:
Sixpoint Brewery's DIPA (Double India Pale Ale) is named "Resin" because it highlights the bittering resinous oils found in hops. These oils, which are extracted from the hop cones, are responsible for the intense bitterness, aroma, and flavor in hoppy beers like Resin. The name "Resin" is a direct reference to this key component of the brewing process and the flavor profile it creates.
Now why does Bells call their IPA Two Hearted Ale?

For the most part, I like to keep things simple. It doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally enjoy a bourbon barrel aged stout or a hopped up hazy IPA. But I always like to go back to the basics. And when it comes to DIPAs, it can be very difficult. I have found one DIPA that I can go back to time and time again and get the simple flavors of this strong NE-ish Double IPA.
It’s Resin from Sixpoint Brewery and it’s always exactly what I expect.
An interesting piece on the history of hops. I never knew that hops were originally added to beers and ales as s preservative.
