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.

At the source: pours black with a bone head. Aroma is light notes of spice and vanilla, chocolate, roasts, coffee. Taste is chocolatey. Cinnamon is barely perceptible. There be some vanilla but not a huge amount. Mostly bitter coffee, malt, and some sweetness. Pretty good.

At the source: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is barrels, sour gose smell, ambiguously so, and roasty malts. Taste has a nice combo of roast and salty and sour gose. Nice.

At the source: pours pale gold with a white head. Aroma is light fruitiness, some of the tropics... not a super powerful aroma. The taste makes up for it though. Bright fruitiness, with hints of biscuit... light and subtle. Pretty nice. I like it. Very light and easy.

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
At the source: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is spruce and yuzu... the spruce is really noce in this. Taste is a little sweet and not very bitter. Spruce is very present and the yuzu too (crazy how we all know what yuzu tastes like now). Medium bodied with a little stickiness at the end. Nice.
