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 lightly hazy (murky) pale, lemon-tea color, with smallish head. Aroma is pine, bread, citrus, some pineapple. Flavors follow, with more pronounced pineapple, but also a light touch of butterscotch. Clean, crisp mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

Pours a hazy, banana-orange, with smallish head. Aroma is very faint, with some citrus and tropical fruit, a touch of dankness. Flavors much more pronounced: a mildly sweet combo of citrus and tropical fruit, with a green onion/garlic note. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Much, MUCH thanks. Beautiful, fresh scent of Nelson giving a touch of white grapes, hay with a mildly passionfruit-ish hint. Flavor follows with light citrus zest left on the tongue.
Plenty of white grape notes and a tad of grassiness. Quite delicious. This right here is how I like Nelson!!

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom. Aroma is grapefruit, mango pulp, with yeast. Grapefruit upfront with what is a close to peach as you can get with hops. Also displays a mild citrus peel bitterness for balance. Plenty of juice per usual for Fidens. Nicely crafted.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a slight viscosity, reasonable fine carbonation on the back end. Soft smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness mixed with a natural cereal streak. Soft pine into overripe citrus and a little stone fruits. Soft finish. Bit ripe overall.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, a reasonable bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a mild dryness, reasonable fine carbonation. Light bodied smooth pale malts, a fair creamy sweetness. Soft pine intro into the hops, soft and brief. Overripe citrus, a little fresher citrus zing underneath. Some broad spectrum Galaxy goodness but, getting slightly tangy. Light finish. Fairly punchy hop fruits, coulda been brighter tasting for me.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Very hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head, doesn't last. A smooth, mildly dry and very slightly viscous palate, decent fine carbonation emerging late on. Smooth pale malts, a light tasting but thick bodied creamy sweetness. Hops bring itchy hop spice from the get go, mild smooth pine and a bitterish edge. Underneath is a nice span of rounded hop fruits. Citrus, stone fruits, a little Rakau exotics and lime coming through on the back end. Solid all round Tipa that goes down easy.

Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is bright, juicy citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with light underlying sweetness. Mouthfeel is perhaps a touch on the thin side? Moderate hop bitterness through the finish.
