Description
Founded in 2011, Finback Brewery is born from a passion for brewing and experimentation. After a long search combing through back streets, along canals, under bridges and industrial no-mans lands, braving collapsing roofs and cardboard box jungles the brewery found a space in Queens in 2013. Armed with a 20 barrel brewhouse, Finback released its first beers brewed in Queens in January 2014. The brewery is proud to call Queens home and become a part of the diverse and rich culture of the borough. We’re excited to be one of NYC’s newest breweries and to make NYC culture even better.

Our aim is to make great beer following our passion for flavor and complexity from quality ingredients and small batch artisanal brewing. We brew fun, unique beers made for enjoyment. We like it hoppy and complex, roasty and smoky, strong and sippable to sessionable and gulpable. Most importantly it’s something to drink with friends, in the backyard, at the beach and at the bar. We make beer because we like to drink it delicious and fresh and because we like to smile.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-bright and thick yellow haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to raspberry-ish/candy-ish hop tones with a light clean malt further down in there
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bitter to candy-ish sweet quality; finishes candy fruity raspberry sweet noted
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with a low-ish carb and low hop bitterness
Overall: pretty good NEIPA or AIPA I'd be willing to come back to.

Can shared by Cikoko: pours hazy with white head. Aroma is orange, pithy, some tropical notes, rounded fruitiness. Taste is tangy, somewhat sweet, lingering aftertaste. Solid.
