Poured from the can into a snifter.
Pours a hazy medium star color with ample head.
Aromas are really lovely lots of tropical fruit, bright juiciness and some bubblegum.
Flavor is rather mellow and disappointing, nowhere near as vibrant as aromas.
Mouthfeel was good.
All in all, my first try from Finback and aroma was great but wish flavor matched the aroma.

Pours murky turbid opaque gold with a creamy frothy white foam head. Smells like melons, bready malt, orange citrus peel, lemon, grapefruit pith, mango, pineapple, funky guava, peach, with spicy floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Tastes like tart tropical citrusy stone fruits, some melons, orange peel, lemon, grapefruit pith, mango, pineapple, guava, peach, bready malt, with spicy floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Feels medium bodied, creamy with moderate carbonation. Overall a really nice hoppy brett pale ale.

On-tap 5/3/2017 at Pour Farm Tavern in New Bedford, MA, served in a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a cloudy orange/gold color, with a large foamy white head that fades slowly and leaves a very thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains floral and dank hops, fruity citrus and caramelized malts.
T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of fruity citrus and caramel. Then a strong dank and floral hops bitterness comes in. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and brings a very good balance. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Very tasty, goes down quite easily, not too filling, mild kick, very good representation of style, this is a very good beer to pound down for a long time.
