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.

11.04.2017, 0,33l bottle @ home:
Big slightly fizzy-creamy longlasting head, hazy with lots of small floaties. Aroma is fresh grassy, leafs, moss, hay, fresh hops, lawn, flowers, pine needles, light malts, minerals, hints grain and citrus peel. Taste is slightly sweet mineraly, weeds, grain, leafs, minerals, moss, flowers, light malts, lawn, wet hops, worth, citrus peel, hay, paper, cardboard. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh mineraly mouthfeel. Fair enough.

Bottle, enjoyed more than eight months before bbd. Pours hazy yellow, with residual parts and a big creamy head. Aroma is dank, tropical hops with peaches, citrus and grassy notes. Medium body, with average carbonation. Flavour is bitter hops, with pine, citrus and dank, grassy notes. Lingering bitter citrusy hops in the finish.

Holborn Whippet. We had it because the Siren drayman was delivering more kegs while we sat there. He was wearing the Siren branded check shirt and we debated whether this was ironic. Anyway, the beer was good, but over carbonated. There was a nice hit of hops, but they seemed very muted after the Darkstar that we had before. Overall a bit one dimensional and lacked that English feel.

On tap at På Kornet, Stavanger. Pours hazy amber with off-white head. Aroma of pine needles, some citrus and tropical fruits. Some malty notes are present as well. Tastes bitter. Medium bodied, dry mouth feel, bitter finish. A decent IPA.

Tap at Damian. Very clean, well attenuated. Hints of honeyish maltiness spice up the background while the hops takes the spotlight with intense aromatics of grape, berries, fruits. Lightly grassy. Very easy drinking. Great one.

Small to medium white head, very fast gone over veiled orange-golden beer. Catty, bit (runny) cheesy hops. Resins too, asafœtida. Nice hoppy flavour with lunaria, grapefruit, citruspeel, bitter fruits, asafœtida. Light body, much better carbonated than it looks, even spritzy. Hopoil slickness. Long lasting flavours. Quite good IPA!
