Pours a fully cloudy pale gold color with off-white half finger bubbly head with little lacing. It has little retention as well, collapsing to a film fairly quickly.
Aroma is sweet fruit like pineapple and orange.
Taste is similar with the orange coming through stronger up front and lasting until the finish. This is a one-trick pony but it is a good trick that begs you to experience it over and over again. There is a touch of grapefruit in the finish but countered with a sweetness that negates the tart flavor.
Feel is very soft with a moderate amount of seltzer and a little peppery finish.
This is a really great tasting NEIPA that is executed very well. Finback has proved itself very well and I look forward to getting more of their stuff. Was just glad to be able to pick it up in Maine - at Spruce Creek Provisions.

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color and has some hints of whitish hues. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass and some patchy rings of bubbles on the surface.
S: Light to moderate aromas of lychee fruit are present in the nose along with notes of white grapes.
T: The taste has flavors of gooseberries, lychee, limes, and white grapes. Little, if any bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. No crispness is perceptible.
O: This IPA is hardly bitter or crisp but has a nice profile of atypical fruity flavors.
Serving type: can
