A celebratory special edition of our Flagship IPA, Soundwave. One of the beers that started it all for us, Soundwave has always been about bold, hop-forward resinous, tropical and piney flavours. An extra addition of Nectaron™adds juicy pineapple, passionfruit and stone fruit notes.

0.44l can, courtesy of Elvis. Aroma is peachy, tropical fruity, floral, resinous and herbal. Pours clear golden color with thin creamy white head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts refreshing citrusy and tropical fruity, following is mild sweet malty and yeasty with bready note, mouthfeel is smooth with rather dry and average bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Peachy sounds…

Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, slightly thin in the mouthfeel, a nice light creamy sweetness. Nectaron hops singing with gusto here. Light cooling pine and a mild savoury skunk are the borders for lovely Nectarine and peach which run the gamut of slightly tangy to candyish. Airy semi dry finish finds the green skunky aspect coming back. A delightful single hop IPA. This is how it's done - a very drinkable brew that absolutely puts the showcased hop front and centre!

Really nice. Lots of fruitiness. Tropical without New England kind of stuff. Liked this one a lot.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Siren online. Pours clear gold with a small, creamy white head. Light sweet flavour with a really pleasant, relaxed citrusy hop character, pithy lemon, nips of tangerine, peach, mild rindy-piney bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Balanced finish, highly drinkable.
