Summerlay Fin Fin IPA
Full Moon Brewworks

I bought this from a random 7/11 in Phuket in January 2026 and drank it on my hotel balcony that evening.

L: Hazy, bright yellow in the glass with a bright white head that dropped pretty quickly to a thin smattering that nonetheless left some lacing on the way down. I couldn't see any bubbles in the glass.

S: Fruity, peachy and citrusy on the nose, but the pedant in me detected the slightest touch of sulphur.

T: The taste is the classic modern IPA citrusy and tropical mix, with a nice level of orange peel bitterness. The can describes the beer as crushable, and I would wholeheartedly agree. Multiple cans of this could be enjoyed over a couple of hours on a hot summer's day, and if I were still standing, I'd have enjoyed myself immensely. No hint of the sulfur I picked up in the nose.

M: This might sound weird, but the mouthfeel is the highlight of this beer. It's pillow-soft, with low carbonation, but what is there is dialled perfectly into the flavour profile. Well done!

O: This is a very enjoyable beer, and almost worth a nine-hour flight for this alone. But not quite...

Cheers!

A hazy yellow colour with three fingers of foamy yellowish head. The smell is of grapefruit and light tropical fruit in notes. The taste follows the nose. Medium well carbonated body with a dry finish. I got this in Bangkok, Thailand, where I am drinking it, April 4, 2024.
