Очень яркий и крутой аромат, много фруктов. Горечь слишком большая как по мне, она тупо забивает весь букет тропиков.

6 oz. pour on tap at the brewery. Opaque, inky black, nice viscosity. Aroma is strong vanilla, fudge over roasted malt, subtle alcohol undercurrent. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, finish as taste. There is sooo much to like here, and I really want to like it, and the alcohol almost comes off as bourbon barrel aged, but not quite. Slightly off putting.

Can (2/18/26) from the brewery. Opaque, banana smoothie yellow, nice sparkle, no head or lacing (weirdly). Aroma is initial white grape, then citrus, strong late musty herb. Taste follows aroma with late biscuit. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, average carbonation and crisp, dry finish. I know this says "experimental hops" but tastes a lot like a Fidens' Nelson. Descendant? Tasty but doesn't blow my mind.

Can (2/17/26) from the brewery. Opaque orange juice, light sparkle, thin head with good retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is strong orange, background generic orchard fruit. Taste is strong orange, orchard fruit, citrus astringency, malt. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, dry, yeasty finish. Given Fidens' success with brewing IPAs in the first place, I'm not sure much can be taken away from this iteration of the experimental series. Fine but better to let this one go.
