Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 8.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8

Poured from a can dated 02/09/2026 in a becher pint.

Pours a mostly transparent light straw yellow a slight haze with a finger of white head. The head settles to a light covering leaving behind a little lacing that slides back down the glass.

Aroma is bright tart lemon, tropical kiwi, pineapple sweet mandarin orange.

Flavor is more of a pithy citrus, orange, orange peel, tart white grape.

The mouth feel is medium light body with bright carbonation. Dry with plenty of bitterness for the style which balances the perceived sweetness nicely.

Overall this is a nice example of a west coast IPA.brewed on the opposite coast. It's a bright ray of sunshine in what has been a long cold winter. It's been quite a while since I've had a finback beer and I am happy to return to them.
