Secret Wave is an IPA hopped with Galaxy, Nectaron and Simcoe. It leads with prominent pineapple and citrus notes that are backed by tropical fruit, peach, apricot and some light pine needle and grapefruit character.
Secret Wave crests over your palate, drinking initially as fresh pressed pineapple juice only to hit you with a second act that delivers mixed citrus and tropical fruit.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones and some pineapple/tropical hops notes and with a semi-sweet finale. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones notes, some tropical hops notes and a semi-sweet finale. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA with nice tropical focus floral hops notes with creamy notes.

If you don't know about Ontario's Badlands Brewery but are curious, I would encourage you to go to their brewery on a Saturday (the only place and day they sell their wonderful work) and try everything on offer. If you like IPA, you will be in heaven. And you probably never tasted anything quite like them.
Secret Wave is another of their IPAs, so pale and hazy that it is almost white. The head comes and goes with a tiny bit of lacing. Well balanced hop, pine and citrusy nose gives way to an equally well balanced taste. At supping, the piney hops are more at the forefront. Leaving your lips sticky and your mouth slightly dry, this is another fantastic offering from the youngsters. Get it while you can. Everything they brew is in small batches and they don't stick around for long.
