Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wavelength
◎ Appearance
Wavelength presents a bright, clear yellow hue with excellent transparency. The head forms with moderate density and exhibits good retention, displaying fine Schaumkleiden as it settles. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, contributing to a lively, inviting presentation.
◌ 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.
◑ Finish
The finish is light and refreshing, with residual berry and citrus notes lingering briefly before a clean fade. No harshness or lingering astringency remains, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
