About
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.

Canned 2/18/26, drunk 4/13/26, compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Well that's the soupiest one of all of the Fidens Tom just gave me, curious to see if there's a correlation to quality. Certainly smells lovely; overripe pink grapefruit, pink guava, white grape/wine and rich, honey-like malts. Very balanced with no resin, no alcohol, no herb. Maybe a hint of banana-like character in there, even.
Rich and flavorful with HUGE mineral, earth, funky NZ hop; the works. Supple, rich, but well-attenuated malts provide lovely honey-like notes with a bit of biscuit and sourdough on the end. Lingering hints of watermelon with huge pink guava and funky white wine.
I've got no hard evidence to back it, but just from experience, the extremely soupy IPAs usually seem to be some of the best. I don't know if that's just the hop compounds getting incredibly well-integrated in to the beer, or what, but it's no different here. This is fucking phenomenal and a wonderful, fitting end to all the awesome beers Tom hooked up from this wonderful brewery. Might very well be under-rating this one...

Panda thanks to Wingman. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, some creamy sweetness that is fairly well integrated with the modest vanilla. Slightly tangy orangey hops, ripe orange, a touch of marmalade, whispers of tangerine and mandarin. Airy finish. Don't hate this but, I feel it is well out in no-man's-land. Neither an IPA nor what I would consider a proper milkshake IPA. Identity crisis!

Can at home from J & B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 11th April 2026. Pours a thick hazy yellow soup. Taste is oranges, pith, mangoes, thick mouth feel - still recovering from a skull fracture and loss of smell, so would like to try this again

Can (1/12/26) from the brewery. Opaque, milky banana smoothie yellow, thin head, with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong peach, citrus. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Wonderful mouthfeel. Citrus and peach, as advertised, but nothing more. Fine but no Fidens standout.
