10 oz pour at Burgeon at the Arbor - Little Italy in San Diego, California. The pour is a clear golden yellow with a minimal white head (very full pour). The aroma is orange citrus, the fruit and a bit of bitter peel and then soft resin. The taste is clean, bright orange nectarine on top of a nice bread cracker malt base. Great balance. The palate is light to medium bodied, active carbonation and the dry fruit mineral softly bitter finish. Great resin in the aftertaste, my kind of Pale Ale.

5oz pour in The Brewhouse, San Juan Capistrano on 27th July 2023. Golden pour, white crust, citrusy front with a decent malt base, but it's all about the Mosaic Hops and what they bring to the table really.

Aromas are a nice balanced blend of fresh citrus and resin hops with a little wee. Some pale malt in the background. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose with lots of citrus and great balance between sweet, bitter and carbonation. Good body and finish follows flavors. Very good drinking beer.

Canned 1/9/2X (it sort of looks like 21, but that seems impossible that they'd have this old a beer here, there is some number compaction on what's marked above the year, so maybe the 2 or 3 got compacted. Still, I looked quickly and assumed this was 1/9/23... Yet it pours with a well-retained, white head. Clear, brassy-golden. Fresh, spicy herbs from the mosaic, nothing of the onion/garlic nature here. Reminds of how Tree House used to do their low gravity mosaic pale ales. Clean, no alcohol, resin, excessive malt. Cracker and a dollop of honey. Soft, juicy, malty (biscuit, white bread) with excellent stone fruit and spicy herbal notes from the mosaic, showcasing this hop near its best. Beer is in great shape so I assume it must have been canned on 1/9/23. This is frickin' fantastic: high attenuation, great malt depth, dainty, honey and biscuit-like malt flavors matched to spicy and stone-fruit-laden mosaic. A good single hop mosaic beer! WOW. Brings back fond memories of Tree House Eureka Mosaic, and also highlights just how special that beer is, having at least, if not more flavor than this one, with a fraction of the abv. Is this 4.3 a big overrating? Sure, probably. But this tastes spectacular right now, and I'd drink like 4 more of these if I could. The right beer in the right condition at the right time. Also, no onion/scallion/garlic.

Gold, bright. Medium head. Malts are medium, finishing maybe a bit thin. Nice mosaic character and decent bitterness. Well balanced.

Very light, crackery pale ale, with a bright pop of various Mosaic notes--berry, stone fruit, grapefruit zest, a little earth--followed by dry, cracker-and-grain middle and a modest bitterness on the finish. Bland fade establishes this pint as a new-school pale ale, again closer to a session IPA than a traditional pale (except for the ABV). Hard for me to find fault with this type of beer, but also hard to find much to love. Lacks the character of a traditional pale. Sure is a gorgeous pint, though.

Can from Bine & Vine. Can indicates this is a pale ale. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma of white berry and a bit of earthiness. Med body. It's fairly dry, quite bitter. White berry and earthiness. Lightly roasty malt. Almost on the road to funk. Quite flavorful.
