Soundwave Continuum

Tap to rate

Soundwave Continuum takes the brewery's flagship IPA back to its West Coast roots and pushes it forward with modern hop technology. Concentrated Columbus lupulin gives a dank, resinous core, reinforced by terpenes and advanced hop extracts. The brewery describes tropical fruit, pine and peach flavours that hit hard and linger, with dank, piney aromas. It pours pale straw with a haze, on a grist of malted barley and wheat, at 6 per cent.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive dank and piney notes from the concentrated Columbus lupulin, quickly followed by tropical fruit esters and stone fruit—particularly peach—that emerge from the advanced hop extracts. Beneath the bold hop character sits a subtle, clean malt backbone that grounds the composition without competing.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with the malt grist providing a light, almost neutral foundation. Mid-palate develops a pronounced bitter structure from the 60 IBU charge, intensified by the terpene-rich hop profile that delivers lingering pine and citrus complexity. Finish maintains dryness and hop-driven bitterness without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and dry, with the resinous hop character persisting on the palate well after swallowing. Lingering bitterness and subtle citrus notes frame the aftertaste without becoming astringent or fatiguing.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
