Waves

◎ Appearance

Hazy gold in the glass, with suspended yeast and hop matter lending a soft, diffuse quality to the light. Head retention is moderate, settling into a thin collar with gentle lacing. Carbonation is restrained, creating a calm, still surface that speaks to the beer's soft rather than crisp character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tangerine and ripe melon from El Dorado and Citra dry-hopping, bright and inviting without aggression. A green, faintly herbal undertone runs through, grounding the citrus in a subtle leafy complexity. Light bread notes from the Malz sit far back, adding only whisper of toasted grain.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and soft, the citrus-forward character from the hops translating to the palate without harsh bitterness. Mid-palate stays light and smooth, with a faint lime zest weaving through the malt's gentle breadiness. Bitterness remains restrained and balanced, never dominating, allowing the soft mouthfeel to define the drinking experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, lime zest lingering briefly before fading to a dry, neutral close. No sticky sweetness or harsh astringency; the beer leaves the mouth refreshed and ready for the next sip.
