Imperial IPA 12.5 º

Fidens Brewing Co

This Quadruple version of Orchid delivers an olfactory explosion of Nelson Sauvin hops, showcasing intense layers of crushed white grape, gooseberry, and tropical passionfruit. Despite the formidable 12.5% ABV, the sensory profile remains focused on hop saturation, emphasizing the signature vinous and diesel-like complexity of the Nelson variety. A soft, supportive malt backbone provides just enough structure to balance the massive hop oil content without veering into cloying territory. The experience is defined by a dense, velvety texture and a clean, resinous bitterness that persists into a long, warming finish, characteristic of a high-gravity Double IPA.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange with an opaque, hazy clarity. Features a thick, creamy, off-white head with excellent retention and heavy lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma characterized by prominent gooseberry, white wine, and passionfruit notes. Supportive neutral maltiness with light bready hints. Noticeable but smooth alcohol presence with moderate fruity esters.

Taste. Strong, complex hop flavors of white grape and tropical fruit. High bitterness that is firm but not harsh, balanced by a soft malt character. Finish is medium-dry with a lingering, clean hoppy aftertaste and a smooth alcohol warmth.

Mouthfeel. Full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Pronounced but well-integrated alcohol warmth without any harsh astringency.
