Imperial IPA 8.5 º

Fidens Brewing Co

Burning Daylight is an intensely aromatic Double IPA that showcases a global hop profile, blending American, Australian, and New Zealand varieties into a vibrant sensory experience. Highlighting the brewery's expertise in hop saturation, the beer presents an explosive bouquet of passionfruit, white grape, and bright citrus zest. The palate follows with deep layers of stone fruit and crushed pine, supported by a clean, neutral malt base that allows the hop character to remain front and center. At 8.5% ABV, it carries a well-integrated warmth that enhances the medium-bodied, smooth texture. A firm yet refined bitterness ensures a crisp, dry finish, inviting another sip of this complex, fruit-forward ale.

Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light orange-copper (8-12 SRM) with a slight, style-appropriate haze. It is topped by a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring a complex blend of tropical fruit (passionfruit, guava), citrus (grapefruit, lime zest), and New World notes of white grape and melon. A supportive, neutral, grainy malt character sits in the background with light fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a massive wave of hop flavors, mirroring the aroma with layers of stone fruit, resinous pine, and tropical citrus. Low to medium supportive malt provides a soft, unobtrusive base. Moderately high bitterness is present but lacks harshness, leading into a medium-dry finish with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A light, restrained alcohol warmth is present but smooth, without any hop-derived astringency.
