Wave Chaser IPA
Tropical and pine aromas, with citrus alongside, come from four hop varieties in this IPA: El Dorado, Azacca, Columbus and Chinook. It weighs in at 6.4% ABV and the brewery pours it year round, on tap. Montauk Brewing began in 2012 as a basement brewing operation among longtime friends. The brewery calls it its signature IPA.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wave Chaser IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same tropical, piney, hoppy character as Wave Chaser IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
