Finback Brewery Rhythm of Existence

What the brewers say

“Sour with passion fruit, tangerine, and guava.”

What our panel thought

“Crisp, bright fruit aromas with a chewy body that isn’t overly sweet or sour and layers that persist on the tongue. The sourness has just the slightest edge, adding another dimension without crossing the line. Despite the initial sweet aroma, overall sweetness is moderately low.”

What our editors thought

“Earthy funk meets tropical pleasure in the nose. The sip is beautifully structured to avoid fruit-juice clichés, with light juice layers and a hint of sweetness buttressed by a spicy and earthy foundation. Quirky and endearing.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Uhl’s Brewing Co Blackberry * Peach Fruit Compote

“Red-orange, opaque smoothie. Fruity, creamy nose with strong vanilla, evoking beach cocktails or coconut-peach pie. Flavors of tropical fruit, peach, blackberry, coconut, vanilla. Restrained sourness. Round finish. Vanilla flirts with ‘artificial.’ Noticeable warming alcohol—Malibu rum.”

Uhl’s Brewing Co Raspricot Shleemies

“Deep pink pour. Brilliant citrus-hop nose with a soft honey note. Full body, with citrus-tropical hop juice shining all the way with a raspberry touch. Intriguing blend of hops and fruit. Pleasant acidity.”

Finback Brewery Wellspring : Saaz

“Among the grainy malt, pleasant hints of pine and earthy dankness emerge out of the floral and perfume-like hop-forward nose, for a nicely complex and inviting aroma. The malt flavor comes across a bit thin and struggles to support the nuanced hop notes. The clean edge seems to further strip away nuance.”
