This Double IPA from Fidens Brewing Co presents an assertive sensory profile defined by its trio of New World hops. Nelson leads with refined notes of white wine grapes and gooseberry, while Galaxy contributes layers of passionfruit and zesty citrus. The inclusion of Peacharine amplifies the stone fruit character, offering lush aromas of ripe peach and nectarine. Beneath the hop intensity lies a soft, supportive malt presence and a creamy, substantial body. Despite its high alcohol content, the warmth remains well-integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel that carries the vibrant tropical flavors through a lingering, fruity finish.
