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 (kind of soupy), pale banana-orange, with minimal head. Aroma is tropical fruit and citrus. Flavor follows, with some light underlying sweetness and just a hint of alcohol. Soft, soft mouthfeel. Very mild levels of hop bitterness in the finish.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Airy palate, slightly soft and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Enigmatic Eggers provides some tangy tropical fruits, guava led. Mild hop spice. Slightly ripe lemon on the back end. As usual with Eggers, flavours that are hard to pick apart and , some fruity flavours that don't have names. Light tangy stone fruity finish, some more hop spice on the airy finish. Exotic.

Canned 12/31/25, drunk 5/2/26. Compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
All this extra conditioning in the can may have paid off, as this is exquisitely clean with slight herbal hop and a mix of biscuit, cracker and light honey-like malt character. Bit of sourdough and mild fruitiness lingering nicely.
Fruity with a bright hop character and a good malt depth that is nonetheless nice and dry. Substantial body and excellent, clean, bright flavors. Herbs, fruit, sourdough, biscuit, honey. Quite a bit going on here, actually.
