Description
Like so many enthusiastic beer seekers, the creators of Fidens found themselves traveling all over to discover new beers and exciting breweries. As their love of craft beer and the brewing process grew they started on a small rig in the garage. Over time they brought their talents together and established the Fidens Brand at the end of 2019. The idea was simple, to open a small brewery locally where they would offer a quality product like those in their travels.

Pours a hazy, orange juice color, with minimal head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with almost a light note of mint(?) upfront. Flavors are citrus and tropical fruit, with a light underlying sweetness. Very soft, smooth mouthfeel. Mild to moderate hop bitterness in the finish. A masterful triple.

Pours a hazy, orange-banana, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor follows, with a light sweetness. Tastes almost like Juicy Fruit gum. Very soft, smooth mouthfeel. Light to moderate level of hop bitterness in the finish. This is very, very good.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Soft lemon and bread aroma. Flavor has soft yeast, bready malt, and a soft lemon hint. Exceptionally well balanced. Nearly a medium body. Nice malt profile. Crisp texture. This is exceptionally well-made for the style.

Can A medium haze on this orange gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Hops bring cooling pine and a decent hop spice nibble. Juicy Citra hops, orange and tangerine. A light citrus peel tang. Krush brings tangy stone fruits and a little mango. Mild savoury hop and a little more hop spice on the back end. Not breaking any new ground here but, there is an inherent rightness about this tipa. Everything in the right place, everything balanced. Just a very quaffable Tipa.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Getting on for murky orange gold is this brew, a few pale cream colour bubbles don't ever come close to forming a head. Smooth and very slightly viscous start to the palate, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a slightly ripe creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine. Fair hop spice bite from the get go and, it never lets go. Ripe citrus, touch of ripe mango. More hop spice on the finish. Good stuff, fairly intense, just lacks hop brightness.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you so much. Aroma and flavor is all juicy citrus. Orange, grapefruit, hints of tangerine. What’s the most impressive here is this is 5.8 % and drinks like a 8 % IPA. Super soft mouth feel with plenty of juice character throughout the sip. Crazy Chugability
Big years since I had a pale ale that there was this remarkable.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom. Aroma shows old mango, mild white wine, and a lot of bread-like malt. Flavor is pretty good mango, white grape, orange. Good flavor but it does have a negative. The alcohol is not hidden. The 10.5 %ABV is completely unnecessary.
