Here at Smuttynose, we know exactly where we stand – with lungs full of fresh New England air, a faithful dog by our side, cold beer ever in hand. Hiking, fishing or simply lazing about on our favorite mountainside lake, we are most at home in the great outdoors.
Finestkind IPA is our ode to life’s simple pursuits, an enduring reminder to find balance in what we do and savor every moment, big or small. Brewed with ample heapings of Simcoe and Amarillo hops, it’s bold in both flavor profile and aroma, offering distinct notes of citrus and pine and a satisfying bitter kick to top it all off.
Consider this your sidekick beer, up for whatever adventure today might bring. To us, there is nothing finer.

Day 18 of the Beer Republic hoppy calendar, packaged 9/19, drunk watching Fallout. Clear gold with a tall fine head, nose of caramel with pine and citrus - very West Coast. Flavor follows through with clean, crisp, and mid-hopped WC profile, nice and dry. Big IBUs and relatively but not perfectly smooth bitterness. Tasty, maybe in the top 3 of the calendar so far.

Another 1$ can from Beaver County Beverage. Pour is very hazy mildly orange tinted pale. Nose is old aged IPA hops, this makes me nervous. Best by date code is March of 2025, so no wonder. Taste is bitterly rude. Obnoxious. This stuff batters, pounds and belabors my taste buds. This is a thumping thrashing wack to my senses. Quit mouth coating. My poor macro loven taste buds are heading for the hills. They're looking for a Flemish tart ale ass to crawl up in and hide. Sock slug and dong. Hoping to get some benefit out of this like some riveting exciting involving brain numbing effects such as impaired judgment, slurred speech, poor coordination, and memory loss. There you have it.
