Bottle shared at work. Must be a pretty good IPA, cause the bottle we had was evidently tired a bit, yet still tasted quite aight, Mosaic was definitely there.

6.7% ABV. Bottled a week ago. Opaque amber, big frothy head. Good retention. Nectary malts and citric hops both on aroma and taste. Solid sweetness and heavy acrid bitterness. Medium-bodied. Not refined at all. Straight-forward. Hard to drink.

Draft sample @ TCBW ’16. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme est complexe aux saveurs tropicales rétro léger de pin offrant un nez savoureux et typique de Mosaic s’apparentant bien au Simcoe. Palais est houblonné, bien tropical, sec sur une fine note maltée. Le pin ajoute une belle dimension en fin de bouche, restant léger et solide pour un single hop.

Tap at TCBW. Pours golden with whiteish head. Aroma is nice hoppy mosaic, fruits, citrus. Flavor follows the nose. Finish is grapefruit bitter. Overall: APA-ish (which is not a good thing), but I really like mosaic, so this is enjoyable.

Draught @ TCBW 2016. Pours orange with a foamy white head. Aroma of juicy fruits, earthy notes and grass. Taste is fresh hoppy, grassy and fruity with some earthiness. Finish is crisp, malty and caramely with so woody grassy hops and earthiness. Okay, a bit unbalanced.

On tap at TCBW 2016. Slightly hazy golden with a dense, yellowish head. Fruity aroma dominated by tropical and citrus, some mild malty notes and hints of herbs and pine. Moderate sweet with nice hoppy flavours and a fine bitterness. Tasty, refreshing and quite sessionable.
