Oddity Brewing’s Wildfires is a modern Hazy IPA that exemplifies the style's lush, fruit-forward profile. A heavy dry-hop regimen featuring Simcoe, Strata, and Mosaic creates a layered sensory experience. Bright notes of passionfruit and strawberry from the Strata mingle with Mosaic’s signature blueberry and tropical depth, while Simcoe provides a grounded pine and grapefruit zest. The beer presents a soft, rounded texture with a pillowy mouthfeel, supported by a neutral, bready malt base. Despite its opacity and intense hop saturation, the finish remains remarkably smooth, offering a delicate balance between juicy sweetness and a restrained, clean bitterness.
Appearance.3–6 SRM, straw to soft gold. Features an opaque, hazy glow with a persistent, rocky, white meringue-like head that leaves dense lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by passionfruit, strawberry, and tropical mango. Subtle citrus zest and a hint of forest pine complement the fruit. Background malt is clean and lightly bready with a neutral fermentation profile.
Taste.Bursts with intense tropical fruit and berry flavors, specifically blueberry and passionfruit. Medium-low bitterness is exceptionally smooth and never harsh. The malt provides a soft, wheaty sweetness that carries the hops through a clean, juicy, off-dry finish.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and exceptionally smooth texture. Moderate carbonation enhances the juice-like character without any astringency or hop burn. Subtle alcohol warmth is well-integrated.
