Tidalwave

◎ Appearance

Tidalwave presents a bright golden hue with a slight haze characteristic of the Double IPA style. The head is persistent with fine carbonation evident throughout, creating a dynamic, lively visual presence. Medium carbonation levels maintain steady bubble activity without excessive aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe mango and tropical stone fruit, layered with bright citrus notes and a herbaceous pine backbone. El Dorado, HBC 586, and Sultana hops create a complex aromatic profile where sweet fruit forward notes are grounded by subtle resinous hop character. The aroma is inviting and fruit-centric, with no sharp alcohol burn.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with immediate tropical and juicy fruit flavour that dominates the mid-palate. The fruit intensity carries through with notes of orange and stone fruit, balanced by measured hop bitterness and a subtle piney dryness. At 9.1% ABV, there is detectable warmth that adds depth without overshadowing the hop character or creating harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with lingering tropical fruit and a gentle resinous dryness from the hop profile. Alcohol warmth fades gradually, leaving behind a clean, slightly dry aftertaste.
