12oz can. A really nice Amber Ale. Mosaic peach/mango tones meld interestingly with the cherry/vanilla tones of the amber malt. Medium bodied, very easy drinking. Really nails the style and updates it too. Lots of depth for the moderate ABV. This might be my favorite 6pack Amber I can think of at the moment. Really good.

American style amber ale hopped with Mosaic, thanks SterV for sharing the can. Medium thick, irregular, off-white, tightly 'papery' lacing head over a hazy amberish beer with pale orangey hue. Aroma of fresh green pine needles and spruce shoots (a lot more piney than what I normally expect from Mosaic), biscuit, caramel candy, orange peel, apricot jam, yellow raisins, young cheese, dried mango. Sweetish onset, hinting at peach, fig and apricot, light sourish tocuh, soft carbonation, smooth and slick, proportionally quite full mouthfeel. Lightly biscuity and butterscotch-coloured malt sweet middle, smoothly leading to a piney, grapefruity and orangey hop character, nicely aromatic retronasally and spicy bitter in the tail. Nothing out of the ordinary to modern American craft beer standards, just a lot more pine- and spruce-like than I am used to from Mosaic hopped ales, but in any case very well made.
