Pours a very thick, hazy, banana-orange color, with smallish head. Aroma is quite pungent, with dank notes, tropical and citrus fruit. Flavor follows. Soft mouthfeel. ABV is fairly well-hidden, though some alcohol burn in the flavor.

16 oz can. Well rounded throughout. Juicy tropical fruit, mineral elements and soft herb. The tropical fruit is juicy with a nice soft malt backbone. Exactly soft mouth a d well balanced.

Can pour from the brewery shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! It's an opaque, milky, juicy yellow with nice viscosity, ring of tan head. Aroma is super strong cooking herbs, vegetal, citrus. Taste is strong citrus, cooking herb, spice and vegetal; background malt. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thick, frothy texture, average carbonation and fairly dry, crisp finish as taste. Overall, often the herbal/citrusy mix doesn't work but the balance is good and very strong.

Canned 4/17/23, drunk 4/22/23. Thanks, TJ!!! Just a glass of straight up concrete. That's bitchin'. Spicy as fuck, with sulfur, mineral, light yeast and earth. Heavy spice, dank if you will with supportive, soft malts. No resin, pine, alcohol. Well, this is it, finally a Fidens that is off the charts. Oh yeah. Spicy as fuck, soft and chewy with heavy sulfur, mineral, earth, white wine and juicy tropical fruits. Don't love the TIPA as I find the alcohol to be quite gratuitous. But this isn't boozey at all and has minimal maltiness (in the sense that it's not too sweet for having to balance the abv and hops). Lingering juice, white wine, sulfur, dank and such. Hell yeah.
