Draught at Tip Tap Room, 3/16/22. Heavily hazy, almost tan-golden with a dense, off-white head showing strong retention. Melon, strawberry and unripe mango with a touch of pine and/or excess hop acidity. Malts seem supportive yet super dry/wheat-heavy with tons of biscuit and low yeast ester. No alcohol or flaw. In the mouth I get way too much sourdough-like character, or just maybe too much wheat? I think it's the interaction with the hops, as well, because I get weird melon, light strawberry and punchy pineapple alongside spicy, slightly resinous pine and unripe papaya. Lingering, heavy acidity, low hop or fruit-like flavor and no malt sweetness; all texture. Weird and very difficult to drink.

Pours a hazy, golden yellow, with lasting cap of mid-sized, white, foamy head. Aroma has some sharp cheese, green onion, citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is quite bitter at first, with citrus and tropical fruit. Mouthfeel in soft and full, with a bitter finish. It's not bad.

32 oz. growler purchased at the brewery and sat in the fridge about 2 weeks. Brighter hazy, golden appearance. The Mosaic comes off bright and fruity in both aroma and flavor. Bolder fruit than you would normally find in this hop. Nice crisp texture with a dry finish. Well made. Very easy to drink.
