Pipeworks Wave Weaver (pack of 4) (47.3cl, 4.6%)

A sessionable Pacific Ale from Pipeworks Brewing Company in Chicago, packaged as four 16-ounce cans at 4.6% ABV. It is built around two Southern Hemisphere hop varieties: Galaxy, an Australian hop prized for tropical and stone fruit character, and Wai-Iti, a New Zealand variety contributing delicate citrus and floral notes. This sets it apart from traditional American Pale Ales that typically rely on Pacific Northwest or domestic hops. On the nose, stone fruit and citrus lead, supported by gentle floral and herbal undertones and a light grain sweetness. The palate opens with smooth malt and a mild cereal quality before nectarine, grapefruit and orange emerge at mid-palate, balanced by delicate hop bitterness with touches of light caramel and breadiness. The finish is clean and crisp, with earthy pine and herbal notes lingering briefly.
