Righteous Wave is the brainchild of Slackwater Brewing & Twin Sails, both pulling inspiration from a couple of each other's most popular beers while adding a slight twist, can you guess which ones?! This tart double IPA has been charged up with heaps of Azacca and Ekuanot both in the whirlpool and dry hopped with some additional drops of Chinook for good measure. Close your eyes and let your senses take over... Think overripe papaya, radiant lemon balm, and earthy undertones paired alongside a soft acidity with a touch of salinity. This beer slaps hard like your dad taking a face plant in the pool, enjoy!

Super hazy, deep straw golden coloured body with a pretty large, four to five centimetre tall just off-white head that's beautifully microfoamed and stays afloat for a long time over top of the 90 per cent opaque body. Aroma of grass, full oranges, lemons, coriander seed, subtle spices and some deeper hop notes and crisp alpha acids noticeable. Medium-bodied; Pretty rich malt and wheat notes with oats as well and some dry, crisp and fragrant grassy flavours do show through, all with a nice alpha acid blast from all the hops here with a very tiny sliver of tart notes from the orange and especially lemon flavours which are here, but hidden behind the rich malt and hops. Aftertaste is crisp, quite deep, pretty complex and still balanced nicely wiht a bit of the tartness here, but very oaty, dry and bitter from the hops. Overall, a great balance throughout with a ton of flavours, yet very drinkable - definitely not showing Imperial Status (aside from the richness of the oat malts), but great complexity - well worth trying to find and bring it back across all of American AND Canada - like I did, no matter if you like the style or not! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Broadway Liqour in South Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 01-July-2022 for CA$5,00 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-August-2022.

Hazy gold with a frothy white head. Nice citrus notes. Nice notes of citrus and a little bite.

Opaque, thick head. Can't lie, that Ekuanot blasts out of this one.It's yeasty as hell, too, which makes it seem more like drinking from the fermenter than I might prefer. But it is a nice hop brightness full of lemon and herbs. On the palate, lots of bitterness, pithy grapefruit style. Fresh citrus character, so Chinook and Ekua coming through happy. Won't say there's much tartness here, but it is way yeastier than it should be. There's some killer hop character in here - let it sing! Y'all acting like running it through the DE is going to kill it.

Nice enough IPA but not digging saltiness.

473mL can, pours a cloudy bright golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lacto, resinous hops, some chalk, and salt. Flavour is salty and gently tart, with citrus hops, lots of lacto, and intense salt. What a weird combination of flavours--I'm not convinced it works. Way too salty, lacto-y, and somewhat citrusy. Not a fan.

Hazy light orange body and minimal foam. Lots of sweet peach on the nose, refreshing candy notes. Taste is sweet peach with hoppy vegetal, finishes full and sweet. Alcohol well hidden and ends up a mostly sweet apricot cocktail.

A taster shared with Alex (f@ck you COVID) during the 1st day of TS anniversary. Appearance: murky straw with a white head. Aroma: mix of tropical fruits with citrusy notes. Taste: very prominent fruity character with citrusy and other tropical fruits notes, finishes with hoppy bitterness. Overall: a bit harsh and not good balanced, bur it's ok.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond colour. Mild fruity aroma. Prominently tartness, it's quite dry, a touch of salt, some bitter citrus, peel, and balanced bitterness. Good.
