The tropical fruit notes burst out of the can as soon as you open Siren's Soundwave IPA. It's a sweet smell that reminded me of pineapple cube sweets and there's a little floral hint too. It's a bright golden yellow IPA that looks very inviting with its small, frothy off-white head. The head dissipates to leave a thin, patchy layer.
The taste is predominantly tropical fruit too but it's quite a complex flavour with an initial hit of hops, followed by sweet tropical fruits and finishing on delicious bitter notes. The body is quite thin and carbonation is surprisingly low so it has a bit of a strange flat feeling, rather than a smooth mouthfeel.
It's a lovely tropical and hoppy IPA that's the perfect blend for someone like me, who's not a fan of too much citrus bitterness. I loved the sweet tropical notes and it's very refreshing. It's one for the summer I think and Ale Be Seeing You again.
