Carton x Fidens — What Is That?
Triple New England IPA | 10% ABV
We’ve been watching what Fidens has been doing up in Albany for a while now — the kind of hop work that makes brewers stop mid-sip and start asking questions. So we figured it was time to make something happen together.
What Is That? is the result.
This Triple NEIPA is built like a hop conversation that keeps getting louder. Krush brings the plush stone fruit — peach, apricot, citrus candy. Nelson follows with that unmistakable white grape and gooseberry pop. Riwaka slices through with bright lime zest and tropical lift. Then we leaned in further with Krush hop extract and Nelson Abstrax oils, pushing those same varietal signatures into full-tilt hop saturation.
Fermented with Conan and A72, it lands hazy, plush, and expressive — big aroma, soft bitterness, and a body that carries the hops instead of fighting them.
Two breweries chasing the same idea:
What else can hops do?
Pour it, take a sniff, and you’ll probably say the same thing we did.
What is that? 🍺
