Family tree explores the relationship between a family of first class hops: Nugget, Simcoe and Mosaic. The exotic fruit, spice and earthiness of Nugget and the stone fruit and piney flavours of Simcoe have been bred together to create Mosaic - an excitingly complex eliciting the characteristics of both its parents, and much more. Here we can see how the three get along together, as one hoppy family.

Bottle from Great Grog. Hazy amber body with tiny yeast flecks floating around. Medium off-white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of candy, orange and pineapple. Flavour of toffee apple, orange, roasted malt and a slightly boozy finish. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. I like more bitterness in an IPA - this is a bit too sweet and malty.

Very hazy amber beer, tidy pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth with fine carbonation. Light malt with a little sweet cream. Light hops - ripe orange whisper of some Sorachi like lemon, Light dry finish. Not bad but the hops could be punchier.

330ml bottle from Great Grog. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Aromas are quite light, lime, mandarin, not much else. Taste brings a little maltiness, but only a faint tropical bitterness. Really not much going on here, more like a souped-up bitter than an IPA.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham. It pours dark amber with a medium off-white head. The nose is sweet pineapple, tangerine, persimmon, earth, pine and varnish. The taste is bitter-sweet, earthy, spice, varnish, pine, resin, roasted pineapple, nectarine and orange peel with a dry finish. Touch of alcohol in the background. Medium body and fine carbonation. Perhaps a touch sweet, but very nice nonetheless.
