Imperial IPA 8 º

Fidens Brewing Co

This Double IPA showcases the multifaceted Strata hop against a soft, supportive grain bill. The sensory experience is led by a punchy, complex hop profile featuring ripe strawberry, passionfruit, and a distinct resinous dankness. A clean, light malt presence allows the hops to remain the primary focus, offering subtle hints of cracker and white bread. The fermentation profile is exceptionally clean, highlighting the tropical and berry nuances of the single-hop addition. It finishes with a firm, lingering bitterness and a dry character that balances the 8% ABV, resulting in a bold, hop-forward ale that maintains high drinkability and a sharp sensory focus.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange in color. Displays a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing. Though the style often favors clarity, this modern example presents a slight, uniform haze.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma with prominent notes of passionfruit, fresh strawberry, and grapefruit, underpinned by a distinctive dank, resinous quality. Malt is low and neutral, suggesting pale crackers, with a clean fermentation profile and a subtle, well-integrated alcohol presence.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of tropical fruit and pine lead into a moderately high bitterness that is firm but never harsh. The malt character is low and supportive, providing a soft bready base. The beer finishes medium-dry to dry with a clean, lingering hoppy aftertaste of citrus peel and resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, restrained alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the strength without any solvent-like heat or hop-derived astringency.
