Wodenside is a quintessentially juice-forward Hazy IPA from Buxton Brewery, showcasing a vibrant and complex hop profile. The expertly selected dry-hop combination of Mosaic, Cashmere, and Azacca delivers an aromatic explosion of ripe mango, sweet pineapple, and hints of blueberry. These tropical notes are beautifully balanced by a subtle lemon-lime citrus character and a soft, bready malt backbone. On the palate, the beer is remarkably smooth, utilizing a plush texture to carry lush fruit flavors without the interference of sharp bitterness. The result is a highly approachable, velvet-like experience with an off-dry finish that emphasizes the modern, fruit-centric intent of the style.
