We decided to brew a homage to the most delicious of hops. The plan was pretty straight forward: use a simple malt bill and let the Mosaic do the talking. The resulting beer is as the name implies; a kaleidoscopic journey through tropical flavours. Somehow, Mosaic finds a way to impart every delicious flavour you ask of hops, all on its own. Backed by a clean, light malt bill it's the beer equivalent of a fruit punch juice box.

Can. Almost clear gold beer, big fluffy pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry and has decent carbonation. Smooth malts, light creamy sweetness. Soft skunky start to the hops. Trace of Mosaic blueberry. Smooth and slightly bitter tropical fruits. Orange peel bitterness. Light smooth finish bring modest hop spice. Comes together well. Very drinkable.

Can from Brewcraft at home. Copper golden pour with white dense head. Aroma is sooo nice: dank, dry, slightly white wine tannic, some biscuit malt. Huge dank pine bitterness on the taste, but with some slight fruity green grape and citric flavors. Delicious. Medium palate. Lingering tingly bitter finish. Would definitely get again - Pirate Life is churning out consistently high quality beers.

Can from Park Fever, Hither Green. Hazy amber pour with a white head. Aromas of pineapple, mango, tangerine, orange peel. Exceedingly nice nose. Very similar action in the flavour. Very good balance of bitter and sweet fruit. Bittersweet finish. Very flavoursome beer.

Can from Brewdog online. Pours hazy yellow gold with a moderate white head. Aroma dominated by pine, some grapefruit, tropical fruits, biscuit malts. Taste is candied passionfruit, lots of piney mosaic, notes of grapefruit. Clean & easy drinking. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Bitter, pithy, juicy finish. A very solid IPA

Can 0.5l. Clear, amber colour. Small, ecru colour head. Delicate lacing. Aroma is gentle with hops note like resin and some sweet malty note like bubblegum. Medium, resin bitterness is intense but short in time. Beer is medium body with bitter, dry finish with delicate booze which burns a bit in the throat. But even though the beer is quite light and drinkable. Nice IPA but Mosaic hop is not so intense and noticeable as I expected.

500ml can. Pours an unusually clear golden amber colour with a large thick creamy white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, slightly herbal, pale malts. Taste is juicy tropical fruits, citrus, grapefruit, mango, zest, moderate bitterness. Light-medium body, carbonation gets a bit flat, smooth and easy drinking though. Great single hop IPA.

Can from the Brewdog Online Shop. Pours hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Mauve tropical fruit aromas, tons of mosaic hop going on. Taste is bitter, pithy, more tropical fruit. Lush, juicy finish.
