Anniversary IPA Deconstructed - Mosaic Single Hop IPA

How do we go about deconstructing an IPA exactly? Well first, we’ve included three single hop IPAs so you can see what each of these hops are bringing to the party. The final 473mL can in this festive four pack combines all three hops so you can taste how they all come together for one truly delicious dance party on your palate. Two of the hops included here have a notable link to our brewing past with the final hop chosen because of how much fun we’re been having brewing with it recently. After all, there’s nothing we love more than finding delicious new hop varieties that get our brewer’s imaginations running wild.

Released in 2012, the Mosaic hop is the daughter of the bitter, earthy hop Simcoe, and was developed by Hop Breeding Co. Full of citrusy, floral and piney flavors, this hop achieved immense popularity right after its launch despite being a relative newcomer to the brewing community. In fact, it was so popular that it was a very hard hop to get our hands on at first! We scooped up as much as we could though, and loved it so much we designed our Kaleidoscope Mosaic IPA to give this hop the spotlight it deserved. The taste ranges from natural, floral notes to both citrus and pine and is a popular choice for single-hop IPAs. It’s tropical notes that finish with a gentle bitter bite make it a very approachable hop on it’s own as well as a being a great foil when combined with more bitter and resinous hops.
