Finch’s Pale Ale is a refreshing experience from the pop of the top. Its fresh and hoppy taste with just enough supporting malt makes it easy to kick back more than just one. Our late kettle additions of American hop varieties and dry hopping techniques make this beer one of our favorites. The citrus hop character balanced with a malty backbone creates a delicious, accessible pale ale that is sure to satisfy with every sip. Enjoy this pale with just about any pairing of your choice.

From notes. Can poured into a shaker. Herbal and citrus hops. Decent beer, but nothing too special.

Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a caramel-amber color with a medium sized foamy white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet pine, grapefruit and a bit of catbox. The flavor was somewhat harsh and bitter pine, catbox and lemon. Medium length finish of pine and lemon. Medium body. Solid.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is plenty hoppy with maybe some mint in there? Flavor is also pretty decent. Lots of hop kick with some dry malts bringing things up. A decent low alcohol but high flavor pale ale.

Draft at Taps 25, Lansing. Clearish, slightly hazy straw-orange body, thick puffy off-white head. Light grassy, floral nose with fruit pit. Soft body, floral and grassy with some spicy notes in addition to tropical fruit (papaya) and peach, including peach pit. Bitter finish with fruit juice. Toasty. Gets a bit muddled, but an intriguing hops profile.

Can. Pours clear orange amber with lots of small floaties. Small off white head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is orange zest, caramel, pine. Flavor is about the same, light sweet and medium bitter. Orange notes more muted in flavor, but rind bitterness comes through in far finish. Medium bodied and creamy in the mouth. Quite interesting actually; a little to much lingering bitter.

A rather flat bitter pale ale. Slightly darker than pale yellow with a unique light yellow foamy head which subsudes quickly. Yes, rather large pounder can. Not sure if I taste any aronge peel in there, just seems dully hoppy bitter.

16 ounce can into imperial pint glass, no canning date. Pours very hazy and cloudy golden orange color with a 2 finger foamy off white head with very good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Some minimal spotty lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of big orange peel, lemon zest, grapefruit, floral, pine, caramel, grass, and herbal. Pretty good aromas with good strength and balance. Taste of grapefruit, pine, orange peel, lemon zest, floral, caramel, grass, bread, and herbal spiciness. Good amount of spicy pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pine, caramel, floral, bread, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a short bit. Good flavor balance; with a good hop/malt balance as well. No cloying flavors, and quite crisp and dry on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a lightly creamy and very crisp mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much zero warming noticed at all. Overall this is a good pale ale. Good amount of flavor and balance; very crisp and easy to drink. Smooth and quite enjoyable.

can - Pours lightly hazy copper with a small off-white head. The aroma is of caramel malt with some citrus in the background. It has medium to high hops bitterness, pleasant citrus notes, caramel, and a bitter finish. Medium bodied and balanced, it’s a good brew.
