Big and sweet, plenty of caramel, toffee, date, and plum, undercut by a woody bitterness and a very light dose of bourbon. Easy to drink, but it starts sweet and stays sweet. Decent.

Lime green can from my daughter for Christmas 2020. Not much forward on the nose, except perhaps a tad of sour milk. Nice that it is simply pure wild beer without any fruit. Easy to like wild brew, I like these wild things, they are so natural. Probably much like the original beers of ancient times, I bet. I really enjoy this laid back natural brew. Unaffected by stupid ass high bitter hops, this brew lets the true sensation of real beer shine thru. Good sizzle across the palate. Wasn't sure I'd like this considering the name but after this beer drinking experience, I've developed a new appreciation for finch.

Pours amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of hop resins. Taste has viney must, vague herbal notes, hop oils. Pine and resin on the palate, some hop bite. Unremarkable.

Pours amber with a thin white head. Aroma of lactose. Taste has light sour notes, kinda flat. Palate is unremarkable, lactose and a bit of tartness. Fruity.

12 oz. can from Binny's, best by 7/18/19. Hazy yellow to orange color. A foamy head that dwindles right after pouring. Bright tartness and a bit of malt in the nose. Tart on the palate too, of course, with no fruit sour here, just what comes from lactobacillus in the wort. Some of the malt does wander in as the beer goes down. It's approachable for someone new to sours. Pretty clean and dry finish.

Nice caramel and light roast coffee nose, almost a bit of scotch, for that matter. A fizzy tan head that dwindles away over deep brown body. The taste is a bit chocolatey, with a thread of cherry behind it. Hops are more like prickly noble hops than the English kind, but not too far off. Sturdy effervescence gives this a kind of Coca-Cola mouthfeel. Pretty good.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is dark, dark brown--virtually opaque--with decent sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width light brown head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is roasted malt with mild coffee, chocolate. Taste is roasted malts, nuts, vanilla, oats, late earthy bitterness. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not groundbreaking by any means but solid and enjoyable.
