Big Wave is a lighter-bodied golden ale with a tropical hop aroma and flavor—smooth, easy drinking, and refreshing. The use of caramel malt contributes to the golden hue of this beer, and our special blend of hops provides a bright, quenching finish that makes it a struggle to not grab another one.

An In-Bev mass product, acceptable but not that great with a lovely side of strawberry concerning this bottle, light and watery, dry malt. 13.03.2020

On tap at the loose moose in Toronto. Clear golden pour, small white head. Typical aroma, some grains, grass hops, light apple, slightly musty actually. Standard mouth feel and carb. Finish has almost no bitterness, dry, and not much going on. Some light malts, meh.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine.Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro non è invadente. La forza gustativa è normale e la permanenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, crosta di pane, erbaceo e agrumi.

From tap at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam. Aroma is malts and mild hops, touch of ripe fruits, with some caramel and slightly buttery notes. Flavour is above moderate sweet. Body is light, feels a bit weak. Overall unimpressive, average Golden.

Аромат хмелевой и немного цитрусовый по моему, не уверен так как пил как бомж из бутылки. Во вкусе точно много хмеля, от вроде отдает в цитрусы и траву. Сухость при глотке, долгий сухой финиш от хмеля. Пиво как ни странно почему то напомнило мне битер из за своей сильной горечи постоянной. На раз допил и все.

Can from M&S. Pours a clear dark gold with thin white head. Floral, grass and stone fruit aroma. Taste has a leafy and spiced hop with some apricot. Decent bitterness. Medium bodied, semi drying. It's ok
