Triple Jasper - Papaya from Fidens Brewing Company (Albany, United States 🇺🇸)
1 day ago
8.9/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 8 Flavor 9.5 Texture 9 Overall 9
Pours a hazy, orange-peach color, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, and a touch of papaya (seriously, the papaya is pretty invisible in the nose). Flavors are citrus and tropical fruit and a blast of papaya, with some fairly strong (almost cloying) sweetness. Soft mouthfeel. The ABV is pretty well-hidden in both aroma and flavor (other than the sweetness, perhaps). Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

Corvus Nox - Papaya & Yuzu from Fidens Brewing Company (Albany, United States 🇺🇸)
1 week ago
8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8
Pours a hazy, soft banana yellow (almost a brown mustard), with mid-sized head. Aroma is pretty dank, with a note of green onion/garlic upfront, followed by citrus and tropical fruit. The papaya and yuzu are fairly restrained in the nose. Flavors follow, including that dank note, with the papaya a bit more present. Not noticing the yuzu all that much. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
