Our Mosaic IPA is a light bodied, straw coloured and dry IPA. The grain bill leaves nowhere for the essence of the hop to hide. Expect tropical fruit, citrus and resinous pine, backed up with a lasting bitterness.

Bottle at home picked up from Tesco supermarche Crumlin. 5.0% version. . A lively light hazed brushed gold coloured pour with a big whipped cream rocky white head. Lots of yeast flakes floating around. Possibly infected. Aroma is farmyard straw, bretty funk, damp hay, pineapple. Flavour is composed of farmyard grains, straw, damp hay, mild brett infection, is interesting, but unintended. Lemon rind pineapple. Chalky finish. Palate is very lively prickly carbonation, light metalic finish. Abrasive.

440 ml can, from KWM Wines & Spirits. ABV is 6.3%. Moderately gushing can. Slightly hazy golden colour, large white head. Aroma of tropical fruit nectar, hints of citrus, also a weird hint of broth, which seems to be common in beers from Northern Ireland - possibly due to poor water quality? Light bodied for its strength. Refreshing flavour, not very sweet, notes of citrus, hints of tropical fruits, a moderate grapefruity and earthy bitterness in the finish.

Bottle at the Parsons Nose, Hillsborough, 14/09/19. Clear light golden blonde with a well presented just off white covering, carbonation well evident. Nose is orange zest, light soap, hint of pine, toasted grains, lemon drizzle. Taste comprises melon, orange pith, grass, light soapy edge, airy malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy hop bitterness and a slightly astringent twang. Average fayre... soapy notes are a little OTT and detract from this one ... not a great.

Bottle sample at a tasting at avrashi's place. Hazy yellow. Asparagus, artichoke leaves, more vegetables, a bit sweetish, bitter finish. WTF.

Citrus and orange tang. Pours hazy orange with ok head and lacing. A little too sour for my liking - perhaps some infection. Tangy sour finish. Bottle from DR:NK in Belfast.
