Wuidsau

Tap to rate

Barley, wheat and oat malt give this New England Pale Ale a full body and a very soft mouthfeel. Double dry-hopping with Hallertau Hersbrucker, Callista, Citra and Mosaic brings out tropical fruit, and the beer stays refreshing. 5.9 % ABV from 13° Plato, with a touch of light caramel malt in the grist.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wuidsau

◎ Appearance

Wuidsau presents a hazy, pale golden appearance with a fine turbidity that scatters light evenly throughout. The dense, cream-colored head forms quickly and clings to the glass with strong lacing. Fine carbonation threads rise steadily, supporting the persistent foam that characterizes well-executed New England–style ales.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit—papaya and mango—layered over a soft, grainy malts foundation of barley and wheat. A subtle herbal-floral note from the Hallertau Hersbrucker grounds the bouquet, while the double dry-hopping brings a gentle juiciness without aggressive resin. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no phenolic or oxidative off-notes.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals a full, creamy mouthfeel from the oat and wheat contribution, with a light caramel sweetness that integrates smoothly. Mid-palate balances moderate bitterness (40 IBU) against citrus-forward hop character from Citra and Mosaic, maintaining refreshing acidity. The finish dries cleanly without harsh astringency, allowing the soft fruit notes to persist without dominating.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length and refreshingly dry, with juicy tropical undertones fading into a gentle herbal aftertaste. No lingering harshness; the overall impression remains approachable and sessionable despite the robust grain bill.
