Hollow Words Will Burn is a Triple New England India Pale Ale with 10% ABV, created in collaboration between Fidens Brewing and Brujos Brewing. This beer features a dense, opaque hazy appearance and a juicy, layered aroma dominated by tropical tones, citrus freshness, and subtle notes of ripe peach.
The hop blend of Citra, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin is enhanced by the addition of the Peacharine variety, contributing to a full, rounded profile with a pronounced fruity character. Despite the high alcohol content, it remains remarkably smooth and drinkable, showcasing Fidens’ signature balance.
On the palate, it delivers a combination of juicy sweetness, gentle bitterness, and finesse, supported by a creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Best enjoyed chilled and served in a smaller glass, it pairs well with rich foods like burgers or strong cheeses.
Producer
Fidens Brewing, based in Albany, New York, was founded in late 2019 as the result of a shared passion for hoppy beer styles between three friends - Steve, Tim, and Raquel. The brewery’s name comes from the Latin word fidens, meaning courage and confidence, which perfectly reflects their authentic and independent approach to brewing.
The brewery is almost entirely focused on styles such as New England India Pale Ale, Double India Pale Ale, and Triple India Pale Ale, with a strong emphasis on double dry hopping and expressive aromatics - frequently using hop varieties like Citra, Galaxy, and Simcoe. Thanks to their consistency, quality, and recognizable style, Fidens has quickly become one of the fastest-growing and most respected microbreweries in the Northeastern U.S. Their taproom in Albany has become a must-visit destination for hazy IPA enthusiasts and a true showcase of modern American craft brewing.
