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.

Aromas are generic golden ale, bread dough, with a little honey and spice. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet up front with a slightly sweet finish. Okay body and crisp carbonation. Drinkable but not memorable.

Bière dégustée au Big Bro à Aix-en-Provence. Vendue comme une golden ale houblonnée aux notes de fruits tropicaux, mais la promesse n'est pas tenue. Robe blonde classique, mousse éphémère. Nez quasi inexistant, difficile de distinguer le moindre arôme. En bouche, c’est plat et sans relief, aucune richesse, ni fraîcheur. Décevante.

Draft @ SK Oceans, Osaka. Clear gold with a good white head. Aroma of lemons. Taste of lemons, malts and some mild grapefruits. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. I’m usually not too keen on Blonde Ales but this one manages to be highly drinkable without being too bland. Would make for a great summer/beach beer I reckon.

Bottle at Applebee's: yeah you read that right. I had a bottle of this mediocre blonde at Applebee's. The beer was about as unmemorable as the tasteless chicken wonton tacos I had.
