We brewed a fresh, tropical ale for what should the warmest Dutch months of the year. The malt base contains a bit of wheat malt which results in the pleasant, soft mouth feel of the Mosaic Pale Ale. We aimed to make it a beer as flowery as its label and picked Mosaic and Amarillo hops for the boil. Not a lot, just enough to provide a mild bitterness to support the modest alcohol percentage (5.2%).

We reached for the Mosaic and Amarillo again for the dryhop. Result: a joyful bouquet of citrus and other fruits. Orange mostly, some passion fruit and more. There is a herbal touch here too. All in all, plenty of aroma, yet the Mosaic Pale Ale goes down refreshingly easy. Great no matter the weather, perfect in the heat.

[9/22/16] Draught at Arendsnest in Amsterdam. Yellow. Nice fruity hops aroma. Flavor is a bit grainy, with fruity hops (overripe tropical fruits). Quite light-bodied. Nice and refreshing.

Tap. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, some sweatsocks, the typical mosaic aromas. Taste is more tropical fruits and sweatsocks. Somehow light-bodied but still feels nice. Very good!

Bottle shared. Cloudy orange with an off white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, pine, grapefruit, peach and hay. Flavour is light to light moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Light medium bodied with a juicy hop coating palate and light carbonation. Really nice and gives the US pales a run for their money! [15/08/2016]
