Fidens Brewing Co

DDH Eugene’s Axe is an explosive Double IPA that showcases an intensive layering of Citra and Galaxy hops. The sensory experience is dominated by saturated notes of overripe passion fruit, bright lime zest, and juicy peach, characteristic of its heavy dry-hop regimen. A supportive, neutral grainy malt base provides a clean canvas for the hop oils to shine without overwhelming the palate with sweetness. This expression balances the high-octane hop intensity with a smooth, approachable drinkability, finishing with a crisp, lingering bitterness that invites another sip, embodying the modern, fruit-forward evolution of the style.

Appearance. 6–8 SRM; gold to pale orange. Significant haze consistent with modern dry-hopping techniques; thick, persistent, creamy white head with dense lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop-forward bouquet. Powerful notes of tropical passion fruit and peach from the Galaxy, intertwined with Citra-driven grapefruit and lemon peel. Background of light, crackery malt and a clean fermentation profile with a hint of smooth alcohol.

Taste. High-intensity hop flavors mirroring the aroma; mango, pineapple, and citrus zest dominate. Malt is low and soft, offering a neutral support. Bitterness is firm but lacks harshness, leading into a medium-dry, hop-saturated finish with a lingering tropical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Provides a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any solventy or harsh notes.
