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.

Light amber color. Huge nose of over ripe mango skin and a touch of phenols which makes this pretty interesting. Light body so biting with high alpha acid. Super smooth drinks more like 5%. Super well executed.

Bottle. It pours a lightly hazed orange color with an off white head. The aroma has some nice juicy notes of pineapple and over ripe tangerine. Subtle notes of toffee-like malt in the background. The flavor is full with orange, pineapple, hints of dank and light pine. Sweet and fruity on the palate with medium low bitterness. The body is pretty oily, but free from distracting maltiness. Overall, a really pleasant IIPA.

Bottle shared. Pours very hazy golden orange with small floaters and a small off white head. Aroma of massive tropical fruit juice, pineapple up front with kiwi, light citrus. Flavor is light to light moderate sweet and over moderate bitter. Some pine and very resinous hops coming out in the palate and sticking to your tongue. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Superb!
