Can dated 6/9/25

Pours the typical Fiden's yellowish-range with half a finger of foamy head. Nose is grapefruit, pineapple, grassiness , hints of mango. Taste echos the nose and introduces some green pepper. Mouthfeel is medium body, moderate carbonation. Finish is grassy and green pepper.

 

 

Canned 7/15/24. A dense triple. Very hazed, citrus and tropical fruit on the nose and palate. Alcohol content fairly well hidden, though this is, of, course high octane. Nicely done.

Sweet orange-tangerine citrus, white wine grape, slightly malty, and a nectarine-stonefruity nose on this one! Taste follows with a slightly malty, orange and stonefruit hoppy bitter finish. This is really good, but with the malt influence here, the color and taste came up just a little bit short of the all-time great Placing Flowers. This is basically Placing Flowers with Riwaka added...and I am not sure how much the Riwaka contributed, but the malt profile interfered with the hop expression from the Nelson and Peacharine, unfortunately. As it warmed, the maltiness started to dominate on the palate and take away from this awesome hop profile. Still very, very good!
