A: Pours a milky murky pale to medium mango yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + pale orange + lemon yellow + bright orange colored highlights. The beer has a three finger t tall creamy sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of mottled very thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/orange + citrus/tangerine + citrus/grapefruit + tropical/pineapple + tropical/passionfruit hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + oat malts with moderate amounts of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + oat malts with moderate amounts of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/orange + citrus/tangerine + citrus/grapefruit + tropical/pineapple + tropical/passionfruit hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which lingers slightly leaving behind moderate citrus hop flavors.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with lots of citrus + tropical hop presence.

 

 

 

 

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned it looks like 10/20/21. Pours a hazy yellow with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves thick streaks of lace with nice retention. 4.5

Aroma tangerine, vanilla, ripe melon, papaya, and apricot really inviting. 4.5

Taste follows tangerine, cantaloupe, papaya, a hint of vanilla, and apricot really nice stuff. 4.5

Mouthfeel is bigger than average, soft creamy carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 9% big and balanced flavor but easy going down. 4.75

Overall I am glad I took the risk on this one. Really well made Finback. 4.5

Great look with a light yellow color with a 4F creamy head.
Very strong aroma- pineapple, coconut, passionfruit, citrus.
Very smooth MF for the style.
Strong taste with the same flavors as the aroma.
The finish is very moderately hoppy. Unlike older styles, Finback continues to deliver a smooth finish, without the carbonated bitterness.
One of their better DIPAs with a great hop profile.
