Wavelength

Tap to rate

Wavelength is a 6.5 % IPA whose name refers to the distance between two peaks of a wave, a nod to the Photon family. Oats and white wheat form a soft base; Simcoe and Mosaic go into the whirlpool, and the dry hop uses Mosaic and Citra in a two-to-one ratio to bring out berry notes. It pours bright yellow with aromas of citrus and stone fruit, and tastes of mango and mixed berries before a light, refreshing finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent citrus and stone fruit notes, driven by the Mosaic and Citra dry hop combination. Mango aromatics emerge alongside hints of mixed berry, creating a fruity, approachable profile. The oats and white wheat base contribute a soft, subtle maltiness that frames rather than dominates the hop character.

◐ Taste

On the palate, mango and mixed berries take center stage, with the soft Malz foundation of oats and white wheat providing a smooth, almost creamy substrate. The 60 IBU bitterness arrives as a measured, balancing element rather than an aggressive force, integrating cleanly with the fruit-forward character. Body remains medium and approachable throughout.

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.
