Single Hop Ale
Mosaic Promise showcases two unique ingredients: Mosaic hops and Golden Promise malt. The versatility of the hop’s pleasing aroma and flavor characteristics and the traditional barley’s depth of flavor comprise this clean, rich, golden beer. We can brew complex beers with the best of them, but we recognize that there is also beauty in simplicity.

(Bottle) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with pineapple, passion-fruit, grapefruit, apricots, orange, pine needles and a touch of honey. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of tropical fruit, pineapple, apricots, pine needles, honey, orange peel and a generous citric, tropical bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh and tasty, with an impressive hop presence. Very nice.

Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde, Sint-Niklaas (Best before: 7/5/2019). Pours hazy golden with an unstable, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of pineapple, pepper, pine, breadcrust, grapefruit peel. Taste has sweetish pineapple & mandarin on soft doughy maltiness, bitter core of grapefruit & spices with a yeasty undertone. Dry, peppery & piney hoppy finish, bit more 'earthy' grapefruit. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Solid, low ABV earthy IPA, but not that refreshing actually.

Ok humalane pale ale. Villitud 08.2019, seega mitte kõige värskem isend. Samas mulle mosaic meeldib ja sellel on väga puhas mosaici maitse.

Hazy medium golden, tall frothy off-white head, good retention, average lacing. Aroma aroma hops, orange, orange marmalade, peach, pine resin. Flavour medium bitter and sweet, malty, orange peel, grapefruit, pine. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, lingering dry bittersweet aftertaste, orange pith, fruity and malty notes. Surprisingly goes this very well with ''rode kool, braadworst en gekookte aardappelen'', both are accentuated tastewise.

Rocky white head left a big froth on a translucent pale golden still body. Sweet citrus, bubble gum & cat piss aroma. Medium bodied, smooth over the tongue with well carbonated dry clean back. Well hopped tastes of tangy citrus, confectionery, onion, pith & grapefruit with a long tangy finish.

I bought the first bottle of this I saw, believe it is not exactly new to the scene. If it emphasizes Mosaic hops, I am on board. Pulling out my ABGB tulip glass on this one. Cracked it open, came to greet me quickly, be prepared. An opaque, golden yellow liquid with a fair, nearly white head. The smell is grassy with a candy presence. The taste continues that, mowed grass, honey, straw and kale. Not bad but I had a bigger anticipation.

355ml can from Beru Vykhodnoy in Moscow. Pours hazy gold with no head. Aroma is pine, citrus and malt. Taste is malt, resin, fruity. Medium bitter finish. I’m sure it would be better if it wasn’t so old.
