I guess there's some hops in here because it's fairly bitter, but zero hop flavor. Not even much malt taste. A bit watery. Aggressive carbonation. One and done for this.

two conditions for judging a session beer - can you drink 6 in a sitting, and would you bother. couple of other reviews down there are across the board, but no one really seems to love or hate this one.
remarkably enough, i'm in the same boat. some obvious pine to this one in the nose and mouth, but otherwise pretty one note.
i finished all 6, albeit not in one night. i wouldn't grab it again, but i wouldn't turn my nose up at this one if offered.

Pours a clear golden color, with significant visible carbonation and a one-finger head.
Smells of piney hops and some sweet citra. Solid, yet subtle smell.
This really does not taste or feel right. Taste is incredibly limited, with some undefined hop bitterness in the background but otherwise not much. The real killer however is the mouthfeel, which is incredibly light, surprisingly flat, and has a overall oily feel. This has the body of soap.
I've never truly loved a Finnegans beer, and was sort of talking myself into being excited for this. At this point I've had 4 Finnegans beer, and they've gone 1-3 - that's a strikeout.

Aroma is citrus, pine and spices. The flavor is grapefruit, spices, citrus, slight fruit sweetness, malts and a tart/bitter/very slightly sour finish.
