A combination of The Butcher and The Vegan because The Farmer feeds them both. We used Citra and Mosaic in whirlpool with Galaxy and Nelson in the dry hop.

From a 473ml can on 2/9/2026. Pours a cloudy light yellow/golden with a medium head. The nose is quite tropical with some grassy and herbal notes in the mix. Tastes of peach passionfruit, orange and white grape, though some lemon and light grapefruit in the middle make it a touch more savoury than sweet. Finishes with a pretty firm tangy, herbal bitterness with a bit of pine. Has a lovely soft delicate palate with moderate carbonation. Purchased after seeing Oz crafties raving about the quality of Fidens hazies on FB, and have another couple in the fridge to follow. In short, this is a really lovely beer, with real character, length, complexity and balance. If it wasn't $43 a can, I'd be very happy to down regularly.

Can (4/1/25) from the brewery. Opaque, milky yellow with tons of sparkle, ephemeral thin head, trace lacing. Aroma is pungent cooking herb over background sweet fruit. Taste is strong initial cooking herb, followed by rapidly changing tropical fruit, orange and lemon citrus, berries all taking center stage for a brief instant. Frothy texture, average carbonation, initial blip of alcohol that's never seen again, herbal/fruity/malty dry finish with lingering bitterness. Strongly herbal but very interesting complexity and variation in back half of taste. Unique.

Canned 4/1, drunk 5/23/25, compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Another near-turbid, concrete-white-golden beer with a large, well-retained, white head. They are definitely good at nailing that ultra hazy, ultra pale appearance.
Malty (honey, white bread) and very fruity yeast just short of bubble gummy. Peach, pineapple, various other tropical fruits and some pine and earth from the AUS/NZ hops. Comes together nicely, with light floral, light spice and good minerality lingering. No alcohol, resin noted.
Soft, juicy, malty, with good attenuation. I'm either getting a bit of alcohol or just a lot of dull hop bitterness. Probably the latter? Earthy, dry, piney Galaxy with softer juice from the other hops. Citrus and tropical fruits with a round, deep texture and good attenuation.

Panda at home, thanks to The Wingmane, 21/05/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a good sized just off white head that thins to a swirl then retains.
Nose is bitter tropicana, Nelson twang, grapefruit, hop spice, pine resin.
Taste comprises punchy citric flesh, grass, guava, pine needle, dank spike.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness with a Nelson twang.
Tidy DIPA.
