16 oz can acclimated to 44°F and poured into an IPA glass.
Pours a very hazy pastel lemon yellow with a 2.5 finger foamy, white, long lasting head leaving moderate lacing.
Initial aroma is bright and dry hops, pine, and grass with some bright fruity esters.
After agitating, it's intensified hops.
Initial taste before swallowing is bitter pine, fresh pineapple, and a bit of a bite.
After swallowing I'm met first with dry mild bitterness and a healthy dose of pine kissed with lemon, and grass with some fresh pineapple. This turns into a numbing on the top and front of the tongue, lasting into the finish with a slight sting in the back roof and bottom of the mouth, becoming almost a poison bitter with malty sweetness lingering.
Feel is exactly what a hazy should be like, juicy and pulpy and extremely smooth, feeling like it flows almost like lava and not water. Tiny bubbles in excess help this along further.
Overall this is a good one. A really good level of pineapple is present, enough to taste clearly but not too much. I really love the bitterness level in this one. It's very drinkable and easy to approach, while not easy to drink too fast, either. Beautiful to look at, too.
Would certainly buy again, but not one I'd seek out often.

Pours milky gold in color with one inch head. Taste is guava and dank hops. Medium heavy body, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter. Decent ipa. Nice and dank but I prefer others.

A: The beer is very hazy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly settled down, leaving a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberry and lime are present in the nose along with notes of pineapple.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of pine and stone fruit. There is a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: You definitely get the aromas and flavors of pineapple in this IPA but it is the hops that prominently stand out in the smell and taste.
Serving type: can

Poured a cloudy golden color with a 4F head in a Spielgelau IPA glass.
Moderate aroma of grapefruit, citrus, and earthy.
Medium body.
The taste is not as pronounced or fruity as other Finback IPAs.
Moderately hoppy.
A good IPA, but not a standout.
