Double IPA brewed with spruce tips, and yuzu, dry hopped with mosaic and simcoe. Total pine bomb.

Pours a hazy burnt orange with white head. Lots of Yuzu hops for sure, resin, pine, and citrus. Medium body and moderate carbonation, no bitterness.
Overall while not my Favorite hop strand very good.

Catching up on some notes
Bottle shared by Dave, thanks for the hookup.
Slightly hazy deep golden color with a bubbly white head that persists. Pretty tasty beer.

Canned 7/13. Opened on 8/20.
Light Orange colour and some heziness.
Aroma in front was spruce AND pineapple. Quite unique.
Taste pine=spruce top and follow fruites notes.
Again, unique combination compare to the tipical NEIPAs.
Slightly feel muddy note but not bad balance at all.

Delicious. One of my favorite offerings from Finback. Nose and palate have a nice mix of passion-fruit, pineapple, guava, with a with a touch of citrus zest and pine resin. Beer pours hazy with gold and copper hues. Very nicely integrated fruit and bitterness and has a nice medium-bodied mouthfeel.

Deep golden and murky beer with a slightly off white head. Grapefruit, lemon and pine aromas are huge and accented with some herbal hoppiness. Lightly sweet, medium to light bodied and moderate carbonation. The taste is like drinking a spruce tip dunked in citrus and it is great. This is a very tasty beer.

Poured from a 16oz can into a tulip. Thanks Ray for sharing this.
Pours a golden hazy body with a one finger white head. A little lacing and retention.
Aromas are very citrusy, lemon and grapfruit, citrus zest and malty, pine. On the tongue is light tropical fruit, citrus, pine, dank hops, raw alpha acid, citrus rind, grapefruit, lightly malty finish with no bitter aftertaste.
