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, chalk-orange-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is bright and juicy citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with a light underlying sweetness. Very soft mouthfeel. Mild verging on moderate hop bitterness in the finish. This stuff is great!

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation
Slightly thin bodied pale malts, a fair creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine. A mild chalkiness runs throughout this brew, mild but annoying. Pretty good hop fruits, rounded citrus and stone fruits. Light and semi dry finish leaves a chalky linger. Nearly decent.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a slightly thin but pleasing creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine hops and fairly aggressive hop spice from the get go. Rounded but fairly bright stone fruits and citrus, Peacharine not as obvious as it is in many brews but, comes through on the back end. A light savoury skunk on the hop spicy finish. Muscular.

473ml can at Juova, Helsinki.
The beer poured deep hazy yellow in color.
Grapefruity, dank and dense. Full bodied. Quite intense, still awesome drinkability here.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Soft creamy malts, fairly ripe, a touch of natural grain. Soft cooling pine. Ripe and tangy citrus and stone fruits. A touch of hop spice on the light finish. Hmm, 2nd Fidens on the bounce that has vastly underwhelmed me.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Soft thin ripe malts, some grain. Ripe and tangy citrus, touch of stone fruits. Airy semi dry finish. Ripe and tangy. Don't hate it but, neither does it float my boat in any direction.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, vanishingly short lived and small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, very slightly viscous, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, a touch of natural grain and slightly ripe creamy sweetness. The hops bring light cooling pine. Lots of ripe citrus. Some elevation from the Peacharine candy on the back end but, for me, found this mildly stodgy.

US Pint can shared at Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur, thanks David! Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a fresh, crisp, juicy tropical citrus, pineapple, mango, dry, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
