Out To Lunch
Finback Brewery - Glendale

 

 

 

Modest head which settles to a film of bubbles and leaves few spots on the glass. Very cloudy liquid, giving a whitish, light gold color.

Initially, I received some sweeter fruit, like pineapple. Second whiff, I pick up pine resin and mild earthiness. A bit weedy as well.

The taste starts with a dry, lightly toasted malt tongue. The is pronounced but not extreme or unbalancing, making this a relatively easy-to-drink beer and yet still complex. The body, like the flavor, is rich. The carbonation is ample enough for balance. There's a long blended aftertaste. Overall, this has elements of a New England IPA but not the harshness. This would be a good introduction to DIPA world.
