Wow. Amazing smell- straight fruit salad. Such a pretty hazy pour as well. Each aspect of this beer is better is better than the next. There is nothing wrong with this gem.
Taste is fruity but less so then the smell. A strong beer. Grab if you can find.

 

 

 

 

 

Picked up cans at Fidens can release @ Church Key last month.
Can undated but informed fresh @ delivery to CK. Consumed 30 days after purchase at CK.
Can states hop profile is Galaxy, Citra and Motueka. Style is IPA.

First, my initial and strongest opinion is that this is an outstanding IPA. The look and body are fantastic and bring much of the fullness you’d expect from a DIPA. But even with its super smooth body it still has a refreshing brightness and drinkability like a good IPA. Gave 4.75 because I just don't expect/can’t recall experiencing this depth of body in a “single” IPA.
Starting to understand why there’s such buzz about Fidens.
Galaxy, Citra and Motueka are each and together so in my wheelhouse. Just loved the flavor. The herbal and lime from the Motueka just raised up the tropical fruit; stone fruit and dank from the Galaxy and Citra.
Richly delicious nicely complex.
Overall a delightful surprise and just a great NEIPA ( with a lot of credit to those “down under” hops!)

 

 

From a 16oz can purchased in Sept2022 from Fidens; could not read the date on the can. Excellent NEIPA. Pours an opaque yellow. Delicious nose and palate of tropical fruit and dank. Loved it!
