Welcome to tropical hop heaven. Soundwave is eminently drinkable, full of flavour and subtle with bitterness. Our most famous beer pours with an inviting haze, while big-hitting American hops deliver fruit notes in abundance and a trademark resinous finish.

Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde. Pours hazy orange with a lasting, thin, white head. Aroma of pineapple, mango, mandarin, orange peel, biscuit, honey. Taste has sweet mandarin & pineapple, bitter mango & orange peel, juicy, biscuity maltiness underneath. Dry, grapefruity, resinous & thus more bitter finish, some floral hops yet nothing dank with quite bitter fruit rinds lingering. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Plain good bitter IPA, as it should be.

Can from Honest Brew consumed 5 weeks after canned date. Cloudy yellow pour with white head and reasonable lacing. Tropical fruits of peach and mango coming though with pine. Moderate bitterness, moderate to lively carbonation. Refreshing IPA.

A solid IPA this, pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a fluffy white head, and a soft aroma of stone fruit and a hint of tropical fruit. The mouthfeel is smooth, with touch of zingy carbonation, and the taste is sweet citrus fruit and some hop bitterness, with a subtle malt backbone, leaving a bitter fruit aftertaste

Can. Pours a clear gold with a bit of head. Aroma is malty, pine, resin and caramel. Medium body. Flavour has a really nice malt-hop/bitterness balance. Nice clean malt profile with a hint of caramel. Medium bitterness. Intense hops, dominated by pine, some grapefruit and lemon. Earthy and herbal. Lovely headliner, very drinkable and very balanced.

Hazy deep golden to light orange. Surprisingly low head, fades quite quickly but the liquid still leaves a bit of lacing. In the aroma: slightest base of white bread malts, very light piney/resinous hint, pretty vivid citric and tropical fruit notes. Pretty vivid but more on the mature/jammy side than on the fresh one, plus not too clean (no specific fruits are actually discernible). Taste notes follow the aroma closely. The beer is semi-sweet in both entrypoint and finish, with only a slight resinous hint as per aroma. Taste is pleasantly vivid and refreshing, but not at all deep or clean. Light to medium bodied with pretty lively carbonation, resulting in a nice, easy, lively mouthfeel that helps with great drinkability. Overall a pleasant, highly drinkable light ipa, but really nothing more than that. I was especially disappointed that the beer didn't fit at all it's label description (she is driest of siren's ales while the beer is actually very sweet for the style and especially semi-sweet in finish and aftertaste - her resinous finish will pull you off balance while there's actually just a slight hint of resin).
