Sink or Swim
Foam Brewers

 

 

Not bad but should have been way better not sure what they were really going for with this one.

I bought this can same day as @woodchipper yet my can says brewed at Foam, weird.
Pours beautifully golden mild haze with a whipped topping head that reduced quickly to a soap film on the glass. So, my complaint is it’s sweet and not hoppy at all. I’m no expert at all, but this is ok, glad I bought a single, and btw the Fidens tag was the draw for me. Lesson learned.

Poured from a 16-oz can stamped “Canned on 03/14/24, An Invitation To Tragedy”. Well that is my birthday a good sign, but the words after are kind of a bad sign. Poured to a Nonic at fridge temp. The label implies that this is a collaboration between Foam and Fidens, but the BA database only lists Foam. Neither brewery lists this beer on their website. The fine print says “brewed at Fidens”. The label art is quite interesting, a long conga line of swimmers with the lead guy trying to get to air. A shark is in the middle of the line drawing blood and for some reason the next human is hanging on to its tail.
The body is medium gold and just one step beyond clear going into hazy. (I can count my fingers through the glass). The generous head has fairly large bubbles suspended by smaller ones underneath. It laces well.
The aroma is also sweet but not annoyingly so as there is a bitterness in the finish. There are floral notes and lemonade but the main takeaway is peach. There is a brief note of the ABV on the finish.
The body is medium in mouthfeel.
A nice NEIPA that is almost clear.
