American Pale Ale 5.3 º

Fidens Brewing Co

This American Pale Ale delivers a crisp and hop-forward profile, showcasing a vibrant interplay of modern hops against a lean malt backbone. The sensory experience is led by the bright citrus and tropical fruit notes of Citra, which are complemented by the complex berry and resinous pine accents of Mosaic. Nelson Sauvin provides a distinctive finish of crushed white grapes and gooseberry, lending a sophisticated dry edge to the profile. True to its West Coast inspiration, the beer balances a neutral, bready malt presence with a firm, clean bitterness that ensures high drinkability while highlighting the expressive qualities of its featured hop varieties.

Appearance. Pours a clear, brilliant pale gold (approx. 6 SRM) with a moderately large, frothy white head that exhibits excellent retention and leaves consistent lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderately high hop aroma featuring a complex blend of grapefruit, passion fruit, and blueberry, with a notable white wine and gooseberry character. A low, neutral grainy-bready maltiness supports the hops without adding sweetness. The fermentation profile is clean with negligible esters.

Taste. The palate opens with an immediate burst of citrus peel and tropical fruit flavors. A firm hop bitterness provides structure, balanced by a light, bready malt character. Flavors of lime, mango, and white grape persist through the mid-palate. It concludes with a medium-dry, crisp finish and a clean, lingering hop resin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that provides a refreshing, prickly sensation. The finish is smooth and devoid of harshness or significant alcohol warmth, consistent with its sessionable strength.
