Fresh Hop Idaho 7
Fidens Brewing Company

On tap at Fidens Brewing in Albany, NY.

This one pours a very hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like stone fruit, melon, lightly spicy hop bitterness, and lots of general tropical fruit.

This is absolutely tremendous, with a super fresh, juicy, and smooth IPA that just has the right amount of bitterness on the back end. There’s tons of stone fruit – apricot, nectarine, what have you, with melon, lime, and grapefruit pith. It’s all very well balanced.

This is super smooth and drinkable, with a very good drinkability.

This is really, really good stuff – Fidens really does this sort of thing quite well.

Bright yellow haze with a fluffy white cap. My first beer from Fidens (I'm a sucker for Idaho 7 hops!) consumed in their Albany taproom. The nose is a tropical fruit breeze. Flavor is just as lively as the look--a refreshing blend of peach and grapefruit. Just a really nice thirst-quencher.
