Sosus is crafted in humble tribute to the elegant works of mosaic art created by Sosus of Pergamon. We’ve showcased the Mosaic hop by draping it across a simplistic malt canvas, allowing you to experience the irresistible flavors of pineapple and tropical fruit for which the Mosaic hop is most well known.

Can, a month in date. Very hazy orange with a loose white head. 3- Aroma of pineapple, crackers, fresh grass clippings, cooked passionfruit pulp. 7+ The texture is just a little chalky; moderate carbonation. Sweet and very fruity with grass/ herbal and white pepper notes just threatening to undermine the fruitiness. The tropical notes besides pineapple are more vibrant than suggested by the aroma. Bitterness struggles to cut through a bit and is then a little harsh when it arrives but that does emphasise the fruit and then provide a finish.

1 pint can, canned 02/14/19. Thanks to Werckmeister! Orange, hazy body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, white head. Aroma of apricot juice, guava, lychee, dankness, some pine, biscuit, some cereals, some vanilla. Tastes pretty similar. Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes smooth, medium dry, moderate bitter, slightly warm, a bit juicy, citric, piney, cerealic, mineralic, fruity, a bit sweet, with some biscuit. Tasty! Perfectly balanced and smooth, with beautiful fruits, while also with an interesting biscuity, cerealic body. Drinks pretty fresh for the ABV. Outstanding DIPA! Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17

473ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average, fluffy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Intense, citrusy, slightly peppery spicy hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, lemon zest, some orange, a touch of yuzu, pale and crystal malty background. Taste is slightly dry, citrusy hoppy, notes of lemon, lemon balm, minimally peppery spicy hints of mint, subtle hints of tropical fruit, crystal and pale malty basis with subtle sweetness. Homogeneous, harmonious, very intense - very well balanced at the same time.

Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Tropical fruity aroma, Mosaic gasoline but also farmhousey dankyness. Medium-bodied. Tropical fruity - pineapple, lychee, gasoline, grass and citrus in the flavour. Simplish, not so intense like eg. King Sue. Reasonably fresh can so feels kind of overrated.

Can pour into taster glass from Andover Classic Wines. Appearance is hazy/cloudy yellow with fair sparkle, finger-width cap of off-white head with poor retention and fair lacing. Aroma is fruit (peach), candied sugar, citrus. Taste is peach, mango, bit of pine, citrus, herb and late grapefruit. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and mostly sweet finish. Overall, taste is more complex than aroma though some flavors are fairly nuanced. A strong offering but didn't feel as wowed as I thought I'd be based on other ratings.

Pours a hazy, golden-yellow with smallish head. Aroma has onion, gasoline, some sour washcloth, a touch of citrus fruit. Flavor is onion, citrus fruit, some pine/spruce hop bitterness, tropical fruit. Very fruity on the whole, almost a Juicy Fruit gum flavor by the end. This stuff rocks.
