We went to work on solving this, and it took a bit of time. When we were finally convinced our session IPA was ready for prime time, HBC 369 had been named: Mosaic.
We employ this chameleon cone -with its exceptional palette of flavors- at each stage in the hopping process. Paul has actually created a lower alcohol session ale with the flavor and body of an American IPA. This beer has developed a following in the active lifestyle crowd, especially with cyclists, but it’s also a great beer when you just want a little more hang-time with your IPA. Dedicated to our hop-loving friend, David Moes, we brew this beer for true hop heads.

355ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, deep amber colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Typical, tropical fruity, hoppy Mosaic aroma, notes of mango, passion fruit, grapefruit. Taste is biting bitter hoppy, remnants of passion fruit and mango give way for slightly chalky bitterness, an underlying touch of blackberry survives even throughout the finish.

12 oz bottle. Dark orange pour, clear, with a medium height white head. The smell is overwhelmed by tropical fruit, pineapple, tons of overripe mango, oranges and honey. Smooth mouthfeel, bitter-sweet and balanced with the tropical fruits dominating the taste, as well. Medium bodied, with a sticky bitter-sweet aftertaste. Right up my alley.

Everybody’s rating this nowadays, so I’m living up to the trend. Hazy amber with a big off-white head that diminishes quickly. Fruity hops, orange. Light body, woody aromas, vegetables, sweet. Aromatic and drinkable. Nice fruity finish, no bitterness. Great! December 2017. Big tasting at Višnja's penthouse! Cloudy dark golden to amber, diminishing off-white head. Moderately hoppy, fruity, orange, peach, malts. Lightly flavoured, dry, low bitterness. Light body, moderate carbonation, light finish. not as impressed as two years ago.
