DIPA loaded with coconut and Mosaic. Notes of summers at the beach, young juicy coconut flesh, tan bod and pure potential. Brewed in collaboration with @jwakefieldbeer from sunny Miami.

A: The beer is very hazy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down but left patches of bubbles on the surface, a narrow collar around the edges and lacy rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of toasted coconut are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. There is a bit of crispness in the mouthfeel.
O: I really enjoyed the aromas and flavors of coconut in this IPA. It was quite easy to drink considering its strength.
Serving type: can

Pours a fairly clear medium yellow color, adequate foamy head. Really nice coconut aroma mingles with light citrus. Flavor is sweet coconut, light orange and lemon citrus. Sounds weird but it really works - tastes great. Decent carbonation. 9.1% abc is pretty well hidden. Overall an extremely flavorful DIPA, seems like it might have a dose of lactose. Will buy again.

Golden color with a 4F head in a Spielgelau IPA glass.
Fruit and very strong coconut aroma.
Semi-silky MF.
Great taste: coconut and citrus.
One of the best Finback beers I’ve tasted this year.

Tall can, w/ 4/13/20 stamped on the bottom.
Typical NEIPA kinda look with just a bit more then a medium haze level. Leaving a nice looking film, low ringed sheeting and strands of fine lacing.
A bit of sweet on the nose, with yes coconut coming to mind, after a reading of the side of the can....
Tasty brew, tropical, yes, again coconuts, some lime and spring onions in the finish...complex and tasty creation. Worth a try if ya have the chance to get some.

This bright yellow can pour holds a deep haze and 1.5 cm of white foam fluff. The aroma is coconut first and then floral notes.
The flavor is tropical, coconut and pineapple principally. The mouthfeel is smooth.
These are not my favored flavors for beer, but this very well executed. I believe that the goal was exactly this.
