A - Medium to dark gold pour with a dense layer of creamy white, sticky foam. The head on this is massively sticky.
S - A wall of dank, aromatic tropical fruit aroma: mango, papaya, pineapple, oranges. The nose is all fruit.
T - Follows the nose. Tropical fruit from start to finish with some peppery, spicy fruit rind. Red juicy grapefruit, mango, papaya, some orange peel.
M - Borderline heavy medium to full body, Silky smooth body with delicate, yet prickly carbonation. Finishes creamy on the palate.
O - This is a fantastic D-IPA with the 8% ABV completely hidden.

Poured from 16 oz can dated 2/23/2017. Thanks to @cavedave!
A: Very cloudy pale yellow with smallish one finger white head. Fairly short retention and light lacing. Almost like pulpy pineapple orange juice.
S: Aroma is a little subdued, but focused on juicy fruits. Pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and apricot.
T: Flavors following aroma with fruit notes dominating. Pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and oranges. Little to no bitterness, and easily crushable.
M: Medium to light body with soft carbonation. Alcohol extremely well hidden.
O: Outstanding DIPA. I need to work out a visit to Finback on my next NYC trip.

Had on tap. Pours hazy, bright yellow in color with 1/4 inch head. Taste is wet hops, orange juice, and some earthy hops to finish. Slightly bitter, medium bodied and juicy. I have been really happy with the Finback beers I have been able to sample and this one is no exception. Solid IIPA that is worth picking up.

Canned 2/23.
Pours pale golden orange. Light head light lacing.
Aroma is apricot, orange, mango and grapefruit .
Taste follows aroma. Def fruit bomb ( not complaining) with bready malt in the back end. Very enjoyable.
Mouthfeel creamy juicy. Very solid.
Overall I think this is a very solid New England IPA out of a big up and coming queens brewery. Great job
