Draught at the brewery, 11/7/15.
It’s very possible that you are required to have a mosaic pale ale on draught if you are a brewery in Seattle. I went to four breweries and all of them had a mosaic pale. This one and Fremont’s were the best (technically Fremont’s was an IPA).
Peach-copper beer with good clarity and a thin white head that sits at cover.
Nectarines, spruce, apricot and strong marmalade-like notes in the nose yield somewhat to biscuity malt character. Fresh yeast and mineral water on the finish, without any noxious resin, nor flaw or alcohol.
Quite reserved in the flavor department, with nectarine, apricot and light peach being most prominent. Pale malts mix with the hop flavors adding light sweetness while chewy, biscuity notes emerge on the finish, keeping things dry. Marmalade, leafy, dank suggestions and just a touch of sweetened pine merge on the finish. Medium-light body, low to medium carbonation and low bitterness for the style.
