Draught at Row 34, 8/15/16.
Gently hazy, pale-golden-straw body is topped by a medium-sized, white head that steadily recedes to cover.
Not much kiwi in the nose, but rather honey-like malt notes, some cream-of-wheat-like character and a light, but fragrant acidity from the lactic acid. Doesn’t seem too sweet, which was my problem with most Finback beers, thus far and there’s some definite fruitiness that brightens things, with no alcohol or flaw.
Light kiwi is noticeable, adding a bit of juiciness in concert with the tart lactic character. Low carbonation could use a bit of a boost and tightening, but otherwise, this is well-attenuated and the fruit isn’t overdone/syrupy. Light grains, wheat, acid lingers...

At the source: pours clear gold with a small head. Aroma is fruity and full of acidic stuff. Taste is like a mix of a ginger ale with a berliner weiss. In a good way. Probably less sour than your average berliner. Pretty good.
