Before the Mosaic hop even had a name (back when it was just known as “HBC 369”), our brewers couldn’t wait to get their hands on some. Mosaic Session IPA is bursting with vibrant grapefruit aroma and flavors of citrus and tropical fruit. Our signature dry-hopping technique delivers an incredibly drinkable lower ABV beer without sacrificing hop appeal. From a small test batch to the bottle you now hold in your hands, this isn’t a one-and-done beer. Sit back, have a few, and enjoy your session.

Bottle, 0.355l. Hazy golden pour, two finger frothy white head. Medium to high retention, lots of thick lacing on the glass. Mild herbal and hoppy nose, clean and simple. Thin body, medium carbonation. Light mouthfeel and texture, refreshing and drinkable. Mild bittersweet taste. Aroma as the nose, a bit shy, mild herbal and hop notes, grassy. Candy notes in the aftertaste. Slightly dry short finish. Overall, ok. A bit watery but still good thirst quencher.

Tap at Karl Strauss in downtown LA. At the downtown la brewpub. It's a clear light gold with a hoppy fruity mosaic nose. The taste is crisp cereal light malts and fruity hops, somewhat juicy but light and balanced.

Golden with a white head - Hop aroma with citrus - Malt body to support a good hop profile that has a lot of citrus and grapefruit flavour with bitterness - The bitter citrus flavour goes into the finish - This was nice

Bottle. Pours a near clear dull gold with a white head that dissipates nearly completely. Aroma has a decent amount of tropical fruits and citrus with some light grains backing. Flavor has notes of funky tropical fruits and citrus with a light sweet grain backbone.
