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.

I’m just not a fan of session ipas, still this is pretty good. Aroma is juicy grapefruit a hint of resin. Flavor is like nose, balanced, but with modern alcohol a bit flat.

On tap at Karl Strauss, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank, herbal hops, some pot and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is very dry, with earthy, herbal hops upfront and backed with dry biscuity malt to back. Nice balance but nothing special.

Fajna piana o slimakowym wykonczeniu, trwala do konca degustacji. Jasna barwa leciutko metna. Zapach zepsutego melona i zielonego grejfruta. Piwo w smaku goryczkowe wytrawne malo slodkie a przy tym delikatne i lekkie. Dominuja ciagle smaki cytrusowe na czele grejfruty zielone i niedojrzale ananasy. Super pijalne
