Hazy yellow colour, medium-sized white head. Hay, citrus, Mosaic gasoline in the nose. Medium-bodied. Citrus, grapefruit, mango in the flavour. Semi-sweet, juicy. Ok. Can bought from brewery, enjoyed in Burlington, VT.

Can no date coding. The Mosaic displays a bolder tropical fruit hint with subtle grass. Mouthfeel is soft with no bitterness. Light juicy character. Pretty much the example of a New England made Pale Ale.

Poured from can dated 3/26/18 Let's get weird....vibrant orange with a white head. Aroma is juicy citrus earthy grass and light pine. Taste is candied orange grass floral notes and a nice pine finish. Well balanced and crafted. --- Beer merged from original tick of Derivative: Mosaic on 27 Apr 2018 at 18:45 - Score: 8.

Pours a slightly hazy, mustard-yellow, with mid-sized head. Aroma has citrus and basement dankness. Flavor is citrus and spruce-pine hops, with a nice underlying sweetness. Really nice.

Draught at Tip Tap Room, 3/15/16.
Moderately hazy, standard golden body is topped by a small white head with moderate to moderately-low retention.
Peach-apricot in the nose signals the mosaic right away, but there’s some soft citrus, dankness and light pine preventing the stone fruit character from getting "mushy" as it sometimes does in concert with too much pale malt. Proclamation is always very highly attenuated, so that wasn’t a concern here anyways. Dry biscuit and other light grain notes sit lightly in the background with light juiciness and spicy pine lingering pleasantly. No alcohol or flaws in the aroma.
Juicy citrus shows pineapple-tangerine, while soft peach-apricot sweetens/softens things in concert with the soft, supple malt texture. Nicely dry with a firm but not overdone bitterness. A touch of light earthy/yeasty character (the bland, nutty sort), but it’s very minimal. As with it’s two brethren, just another top-notch NE IPA that is right up there with the best.
Mangoes, papaya, citrus zest, lemons and lime. Super clean. Dank as fook.
