Imperial IPA 8 º

Fidens Brewing Co

The Beacon delivers an explosive sensory profile characteristic of a modern Double IPA. The aromatic intensity is driven by a potent combination of Citra, Galaxy, and Vic Secret, yielding layered notes of ripe passion fruit, bright citrus zest, and crushed pineapple. Beneath the tropical assault lies a clean, supportive malt foundation of neutral grain, ensuring the hops remain the primary focus. On the palate, the bitterness is firm yet smoothly integrated, balancing a faint honey-like malt sweetness. The finish is remarkably dry for its 8% strength, leaving a lingering resinous and tropical afterglow that emphasizes its high-impact hop character and effortless drinkability.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM). Persistent, thick, off-white head with excellent lacing. Modern hazy appearance with moderate to high turbidity.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit, passion fruit, and peach from Galaxy, complemented by the citrus-forward grapefruit and lime of Citra. Vic Secret provides additional layers of crushed pineapple and a hint of resinous pine. Low, neutral, grainy malt support; clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Strong, complex hop flavors of mango, lime, and pineapple. High bitterness that is firm but not harsh or astringent. Low, supportive, clean malt character with minimal caramel notes. Very dry to medium-dry finish with a lingering hoppy and resinous aftertaste. Alcohol is clean and well-integrated.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, smooth texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but restrained alcohol warmth that remains smooth. No harshness.
