Sample at EBF. Very red, pinkish foamy head. Aroma of tart cranberry, flavor is tart, crisp cranberries. Light sweetness brings the tartness to a nice level.

Was lucky enough to get 10 pretty sweet beers sent to me by a college buddy. Had never heard of Finback until he send me a text. Looked them up and it looks like they are putting out some quality stuff. Looking forward to the four ones that I have. Sharing this one with my wife.

Poured a light amber reddish hazy color with one finger of fizzy white head which disappeared immediately. Various bubble streams coming up from the bottom of the glass. Poor foamy lacing. Terrible retention. (Sight - 2.75)

Smelled cranberry, plum, cherry, pomegranate and raspberry. (Smell - 3.50)

Taste was about the same, getting cranberry, pomegranate, raspberry, tart, cherry, plum and Smarties candy. Has to be a kettle sour. (Taste - 3.75)

Light body. Oily texture. Lively carbonation. Abrupt, tart finish. (Feel - 3.75)

This was OK. Not sure I’d want it again, maybe just a taster at their brewery. (Overall - 3.50)
