Bottle at Winston’s. Pours clear gold, thin white head. Fruity aromas, tropical fruit, some herbal notes. Complex nose. Light bitter taste, light sweetness coming through. Oily mouthfeel. Very nice.

On tap @ the Stockbridge Tap. Pours golden with a slight haze and a nicely proportioned head. The nose has grapefruit into orange. In fact the taste confirms this as being somewhere in the pink grapefruit or blood orange spectrum. There’s a minerally background thing too as you’d expect from cask. Overall, I really enjoyed this beer - a great advert for cask.

Cask @ Diggers, Edinburgh [140513]
Brilliant golden, clear, dense white head, good lacing
Aroma of soft grassy hops, bit odd woody floral notes, sweet pale malts, slight spicy, but there is a smell of sweat unfortunately that’s off putting
Taste - Fruity caramel malts, dab of tropical fruit notes then soft herbal hop with floral notes, some grassy hop in there, crushed flowers, bitter dryish lemon zest, quite a lot of sweet fruity caramel malts
Palate - Medium body, smooth, rather sticky. Bitter hop and oily sweet caramel malt palate. Finish is fairly lingering - bitter zesty hops with a background of sweet malts.
Overall - Interesting to try this hop, certainly it is complex, but maybe better used in combination. A bit too malty and sweet which made it somewhat heavy going.

Aroma: Light honey, earthy and peach aroma.

Appearance: Clear golden body with a thin white frothy head. No visible carbonation. Very light lacing marks.

Taste: Lemon, herbs and a hint of soap. I completely agree with the comment below about it tasting a bit like rhubarb and custard sweets - it’s an unusual flavour but, for me, it works somehow. Sweet overall flavour with a dry, peppery, biscuity finish.

Palate: Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Flat carbonation.

Overall: I think this is the first time I’ve tried the Mosaic hop - it’s quite complex and difficult to describe, but I quite like it.
