NEIPA - New England IPA 10 º

Fidens Brewing Co

This Triple IPA from Fidens showcases an explosive hop profile through a massive double dry-hop addition of Citra, Citra Cryo, Citra DynaBoost, Mosaic, and Simcoe. The aroma is saturated with intense layers of pink grapefruit, ripe mango, and passion fruit, backed by a resinous, piney backbone. Despite its high strength, the beer maintains high drinkability with a lean malt profile that allows the hops to remain the primary focus. Deep layers of citrus zest and stone fruit dominate the palate, leading into a firm, clean bitterness that prevents the high alcohol from feeling cloying. It represents a powerful, modern interpretation of the Double IPA style.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange (6-8 SRM) with a distinct, luminous haze. Features a thick, persistent white foam head that leaves heavy, intricate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Intense and multifaceted hop aroma. Dominant notes of tropical mango, pineapple, and citrus zest from the Citra and Mosaic varieties. Supporting undertones of resinous pine and slight dankness from Simcoe. Neutral, grainy malt in the background with a clean fermentation profile and a hint of smooth, sweet alcohol.

Taste. Immediate impact of intense hop flavor, mirroring the aroma with concentrated grapefruit, blueberry, and tropical fruit. The bitterness is high but remarkably smooth, integrated into a lean, neutral malt base that provides just enough support. Finishes dry with a lingering resinous and citrusy aftertaste, showcasing the complexity of the Citra and Mosaic blend.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a smooth, warming sensation without any harshness or solvent notes.
