American Pale Ale 5.2 º

Fidens Brewing Co

Stardust is a modern interpretation of the American Pale Ale, showcasing a vibrant sensory interplay driven by Strata, Mosaic, and Nectaron hops. The experience begins with a punchy aromatic bouquet of tropical passion fruit, bright citrus, and subtle dank pine. On the palate, these hops translate into layers of white peach, pineapple, and blueberry, supported by a clean, neutral malt base that provides structure without adding heavy caramel weight. This crisp ale finishes with a firm but balanced bitterness, highlighting the expressive New World hop profile while remaining light and effortlessly drinkable with a refreshing, dry snap.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (6-7 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderately large, frothy off-white head that demonstrates good retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma featuring distinct notes of passion fruit, pineapple, and stone fruit from Nectaron and Strata. Mosaic adds complexity with blueberry and a hint of resinous pine. Low, grainy-sweet malt aroma provides a neutral background. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression of bright tropical fruit and citrus. Hop flavors of peach, mango, and berry are prominent. Malt flavor is low and neutral, reminiscent of fresh crackers. Moderate to high bitterness provides a firm, clean structure. The finish is medium-dry and crisp with a lingering grapefruit zest and resin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a refreshing bite. Alcohol warmth is negligible, and there is no perceived astringency.
