Fionn is a modern, New-World-style DIPA, extremely pale with a focus on late and dry hop addidions to create an intensely fruity IPA. The absence of oats or lactose allows some bitterness to shine through allowing for a more balanced, moreish finish. Intense citrus and tropical fruits dominate the flavour and aroma. A lush backbone of Irish pale malt supports the heavy hop bill creating a well-balanced finish that leans towards bitter.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso rimanda al luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il piano sottostante è si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, arancia, ananas, mango e frutta tropicale.

440ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a murky medium to dark amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light citrus fruits, light alcohol and hop resin. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter, moderate sweet, with a crisp, rich, juicy tangerine passionfruit citrus, warm boozy alcohol, big hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. This beer is big on the bittering hops and when combined with the alcohol, gives a very bitter and boozy beer that won’t agree with everyone. A little bit unrefined I have to say.
