Finback Brewery (2020)

Agreed with the above posts, Oscillation 022 is not only the best Oscillation I've had, but the best Finback IPA I've had all year. I highly recommend picking it up.

 

Anyone tried Cats Are People?

 

Very good. @jrnyc bought 3 cases.

 

agreed, very good

 

Like many, did a little celebrating tonight. Oscillation, like alway was great and was the best beer of the night.

 

same here. So much so that I called the brooklyn spot around noon to see if there was any osc left. There was one case only. Just an FYI if anyone wants to re-up.

 

Finback Farm eh? Looks like Walton, NY by the comments.

 

The post is also geo tagged in Walton

 

Yes, would love to know people’s opinions. Just picked up a 4-pack via Threes.

 

Calling @jrnyc. Not just because he loves Finback -- which he does, like @rozzom loves spandex-induced moose knuckle -- but because he's had Suspended Animation recently.

 

Here’s @jrnyc ’s untappd review if that’s helpful for anyone:

“Very astringent hop bite with a bit of a chalky texture. Pours a pale brown. Very little carbonation and the booze really hits you. Probably the least good hoppy beer I’ve had from Finback. 4.75/5.00”

 

I stopped by yesterday when I was in the area and grabbed a 4 of Suspended along with some others. I cracked a can last night and honestly couldn’t finish it. The apricot addition made it very acidic and gave me massive heart burn. The acidity was different from the acidity you get from a sour/lambic though. It’s hard to describe - I had the same issue with a mango IPA a few years ago (not Finback but can’t remember the brewery). I’ll save these for some friends.

 

I did like it. I thought it was a tad astringent and a bit acidic but the apricot and citrus outweighed that for me and it was really soft.

 

Late to the game here, when I first had it typical aggressive, in your face Finback, looks like orange juice. Really like that about Finback. Had one the other night, it’s evened out a bit, still good.

Out to Lunch another aggressive flavorful one that just came out, so much flavor and aggressiveness at only 6.5.

 

This is reminiscent of the reviews for the bad batch of G is for Green

Maybe I’ll try one again tonight as I definitely plan on having a “few”.

 

+1 for Out to Lunch. Huge flavor at 6.5%. So good.
next up is my last can of Osc 22 and I’m kind if sad about it.

 

Anyone try the bottlws released today? Curious to see how blueberry and pear work in a BA stout.

 

Had the pear one. Definitely different. Spicy with notes of bourbon and pear. I’d say it’s worth a try.

 

Stopping by to grab the stout later today... anyone try the Glimmering triple? The only big guy I’ve had from them was the six yr anni and that was pretty damn good.
