Finnegans Brew Co.

Finnegans refers to it as a French biere blanc. Looks a lot like a traditional witbier. Subtle smell of grapes and maybe some melon. I thought it tasted and felt like a mild semi dry wine. Not really my bag, but a decent summer beer for someone looking for something mild and sweet.

Haven't had this style of beer before. The description lead me to believe it would be like sunken city from Insight brewing - one of my favorite ales. This one is similar to our although technically a different style. The smell is full of grape and champagne. Color is a pale golden. Taste is light and crisp, thankfully not too carbonated, you can taste the sauv blanc grapes. Really well balanced. I'd like a little more grape flavor to come through but I'm nit picking. It's not on the level of Sunken City but for the great price of $3.99 for a 6 pack this a easily drinkable beer that would appeal to nearly everyone.

 

Poured a clear orange color with a ton of fizzy bubbles. However, it was all short lived. It smelled fruity and estery with candy notes. Sweet with a touch a funky bite.

 

 

 

Delightful. Bière Blanc style fermented with French Saison yeast strain and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Reminiscent of a Hefe or Witbier with notes of a Belgian Ale from the Strisselspalt hops. Light body with a lightly effervescent mouthfeel, slightly spicy mid-palate, and aromas of melon, stone fruit, and Sauvignon blanc grapes. Great summer brew or pairs great with seafood and lighter fare.
This should be a year round brew for Finnegan's, but until then, I may just attempt to clone it for myself. ;)
There's something for everyone here. Something those who "aren't into beer" can appreciate, and those of us who are aficionados will thoroughly enjoy as well.
