Motive And Justifiable End
Fidens Brewing Company

 

Had on tap at Mortalis Halloween Saturday BA Zulu release.
Very good hazy trip. Gorgeous creamy white head with excellent lacing. Beautiful soft yellow; clean/ no murkiness. A bit more dank than expected. More carbonated than expected.
Overall a well crafted very nice brew.

Canned on 9/27/22; consumed on 10/19/22

Pours a turbid, milky sunflower-gold body topped with a finger and a half of creamy, white foam; solid head retention leaves a vague sliver of cap, moderate, frothy collar, and varied array of webby/spotty lacing strewn across the walls of the glass.

Aroma opens to a touch of mango and lime zest as passionfruit meets a dank and resinous white grape overtone extending over the middle; bready jackfruit finds a tinge of creamed peach on the back end, while strawberry undertones peak into ripe guava flesh on the close.

Taste brings passionfruit zest with twangy grapefruit subtleties, leaving dank, earthy moss and a softly juicy white grape contrast to balance over the mid-palate as wispy jasmine edges meet boggy jackfruit on the back end of the profile.

Mouthfeel shows a taut, medium-full body and moderate carbonation, with prickly, easygoing textures building to a mild hop twang extended over the mid-palate as slick resins present on the juicier back end.

A foundationally dank setting for an exhaustively resinous profile, while the filling malt undertones prove a passive amplification of deft contrasts between ripe earth and fruity saturation, airy yet potent.

 

 

 

Opaque dark maze with a tall, fluffy off-white head that retains thick and lumpy, clinging in coral lacing.

Tropical mango, papaya and a little toasty seed are accented by a pleasant shortbread malt presence that's not overbearing in both flavor and booze despite the ABV. That said, it does finish with a lightly acidic green hop bite.

The full, round body has a fluffy carbonation up front, but that fines out more thinly thereafter, exhaling a hint of peanut.
