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.

Tidy.
