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.

Draught Medium to good, dense, light-mango coloured head over beer, looking as darker pressed orange juice. Exotic fruit, lupulin, chalk, citrus, citruspeel. Bitter, lupulin, kumquat, orange marmalade. Bitter finish, a bit nondescript, lightly metallic. Decent body, light carbonation, hopoil viscosity, long-lasting flavour. Good DIPA.

Can. Hazy golden pour. Aroma of skunky onion hop, pineapple, herbal mango, bready malt and orange. Taste has sweet skunky pineapple, mango, orange, onion hop, bready malt, caramel and booze. Solid nedipa, bit too boozy for its abv perhaps and lacks a fresh spark that I like in ipa's.

Can. Yellow color, like mango juice. Grass, a hint of yeast and soft tropical fruit in the aroma. Green hops, pineapple. Citrus and a slight hopburn in the flavor. Nice, juicy and grassy.
