Finback X Milu Pilsner

On draught.
A hazy straw color pour with a soapy head.
Toasted Pilsner malt flavor is pleasant, a bit grassy, hints of lemon citrus,
Hops bitterness is pleasant, fairly well balanced.
A faint grapefruit flavor that seen a little off for a Pilsner.

Pours a pale lightly hazy golden. Soapy to pillowy white head. Freshly cut grass, perhaps some zested lime, maybe some passionfruit on the nose. It is very limey overall. Refreshing, delicate. Not as crisp as the name suggests though. It is lightly carbed and it doesn't have the vivacity that I'd want from a truly crisp lager. I generally like it, I guess.

Part of my restraint on praise here is that the can kind of exploded on me when I opened.

 

 

 

 

 

From a 16 oz. can dated 09/02/22. Sampled Jan 8, 2023.

The pour is olive-yellow under a tremendous lingering puffy white head.

The aroma emits grain, grass, moss, apple, and perhaps a hunt of smoke. Doesn't make me think pilsner right away.

The mouthfeel is light and smooth.

The taste is sweet, bready, mossy, with a little lemon grass and a slightly dry finish. Crisp. Clean. But did not wow me at all.

A 1 pint can, canned on 15th June 2022. Poured into a winebar glass.

Appearance: A slightly hazy golden orange colour with a just over one finger white head that had good retention and left lots of nice lacing.

Aroma: Grains, bready malt, lemon zest, honey, with light mango and grassy notes.

Taste: Cracker malt, grass, lemon zest, white grape, with a light but lasting bitter finish.

Mouthfeel: Slightly crisp, light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Overall: Easy to drink and very crushable with nice aroma and flavours.

easy drinking

Aroma of slightly wet grass, a pleasant note of white bread and honey. Light hints of parsley.

The flavor is clean, mostly it tastes of biscuits complemented by a bit of lemon citrus. There are very light notes of parsley. There's a bit of white grape fruitiness to it as well but it's in the background.

Mouthfeel is decently fizzy with full weight and body.

Overall this is very creamy and rich for the style, while still being refreshing. At the same time it isn't syrupy or sugary. I happen to really like this.

 

 

 

 

Crispy Morning, a Pilsner style from Finback, pours a very pale yellow with a 1.5 cm cap of fluffy foam.
The light aroma is of hay and woody hops.
The flavor is of cracker-like malt and the hop notes that were in the nose.
The finish is somewhat crisp ( due to hop bitterness) but not as dry as expected.
This is a refreshing brew in which the hop aspects persist.
