Tidal Wave

Tap to rate

Waves of juicy mango, citrus peel and ripe peach on a soft body, finishing smooth and pillowy. A bold double dry hop of Citra Cryo and Cryo Pop sits on a silky, oat-heavy grist, making this 4.5% hazy pale a full-on fruit bomb at sessionable strength. Brewed in Hull; all Atom beers are vegan-friendly.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 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.
