A hazy golden NEIPA under a frothy white head. Pineapple, mango, peach and kiwi come first, joined by lime, orange and grapefruit, then herbal pine and delicate floral touches. It lands buttery with a crisp citric snap, lightly bready malt and smooth oats. Mosaic, Simcoe and Cascade supply the hops over oat and pilsner malt. 6.9% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Finder

◎ Appearance

Finder presents a luminous golden hue beneath a dense, frothy white head with strong retention and fine lacing. The body is deliberately hazy, characteristic of a New England IPA, with suspended yeast contributing to its cloudy appearance. Vigorous carbonation evidences itself in steady bubble streams that animate the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright stone and tropical fruit—pineapple, mango, and peach lead, supported by kiwi acidity. A citrus layer follows, with lime, orange, and grapefruit notes weaving through herbaceous pine and subtle floral aromatics. The malt backbone contributes a faint bready sweetness without dominating the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate arrives buttery and full, with smooth oats and pilsner malt delivering a lightly bready foundation. Citric snap cuts through cleanly, while stone fruit and herbal pine persist across the mid-palate. Bitterness is measured at 50 IBU, providing structure without harsh edges, and the finish maintains a balanced, residual crispness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and lingering, with citrus and herbaceous notes fading gradually into a subtle bready dryness. No harsh alcohol heat mars the 6.9% ABV, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
