Court is In Session from Fidens Brewing Company (Albany, United States 🇺🇸)

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 8
Pours a hazy, chalk-banana yellow, with minimal head. Aroma is quite bright and juicy, with citrus, floral, and tropical notes. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel seems a bit thin, though probably on target for the style. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Doesn't taste like a 3% ABV beer--something larger.
