On tap at Community Beer Co, pours a clear dark orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out plenty of the oak spirals, along with earthy, piney hops, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is hoppy, oaky and dry, with plenty of oak spirals, earthy hops, biscuity malt, and bitter pine. There's some resinous oiliness in there too. Oaked IPAs usually don't go too well, but this is done tastefully and doesn't bungle up the hops. Very good.

So Mosaic Oaked IPA is an IPA and Mosaic IPA is an Imperial IPA? Leave it to better minds than mine to determine that. Mosaic is one of my top IPAs (Imperial IPAs, sorry) so the oaked version can only be appreciated. Bought in a pack at a close-by craft store I am fired up to try. Play some chill music in the background and pour the 12 oz bottle into a tall tumbler. It delivers a regal dark orange liquid completed by a strong eggshell white head. A sniff, there is lemon, orange and grain. On to the much-anticipated drink, well hello, it is Mosaic on steroids. Strong hoppiness without being a bomb, grapefruit, orange, cut grass, a surrounding woodiness, medium bitterness that lingers. Mosaic hops, easily my favorite, and an oak imprint make this a top level brew, my estimation. Good job Community.
