Tidal Wave

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale gold with a soft, diffuse cloudiness from the oat-heavy grist and natural yeast suspension. The head forms thick and billowy, with fine lacing that clings gently to the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting the silky mouthfeel without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The Citra Cryo and Cryo Pop hops deliver a striking wave of ripe stone fruit—juicy mango and peach dominate the first impression, followed by bright citrus peel and subtle floral notes. A soft, grainy Malz undertone grounds the composition without asserting itself. The overall character is fruit-forward and inviting, with no sharp or vegetal edges.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and full-bodied despite the moderate 4.5% ABV, the oat-based grist delivering a silky, almost creamy foundation. Fruit flavors—mango, peach, and hints of citrus—spread across the mid-palate in a balanced wave, while the 40 IBU bitterness remains restrained and refined, never harsh. The beer finishes clean without drying the mouth.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and lingering, with the fruit notes gently fading into a soft, pillowy aftertaste. No astringency or alcohol heat; the beer closes with quiet grace.
