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.

Tap. Hazy golden, small white froth. Sweet, fruity aroma, grapefruit and pine. Flavour has passionfruit, citrus, malty notes. Carb is high, but nicely refreshing.

Draught @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg. Pours hazy lemon straw with airy white head. Clear aroma of hops and citrus, with notes of fruit and touches of yeast. Intense, bitter flavour of hops and grass, with notes of malt and yeast and some fruity hints. Lingering, bitter and grassy aftertaste with estery hints. High carbonation. Simple and clean. What’s not to like?

Shocking at the initial nose, very strong mushroomy herbal woody - almost everything I hate about certain kinds of hops, maybe I dont like mosaic...but after a couple of seconds it changed quite a bit, I adapted...it was just such a shock to the senses. It feels a little more tropical fruity, little bit of mango, quite a bit of sweatsock actually, very fruity. Its still weird, very unique, can’t quite place it. Just an unusual hop and I have nothing to compare it to. Flavor is similar, layers of resin, indistinct tropical fruit borders into the mango/papaya type, but also that strong herbal/woody bitterness right there with it. I like the way the malts are included, just a very light clean breadiness. Perfect balance between malt and hops, I just don’t love the hop! Forgetting for a moment that I’m watching a bald eagle fly in the distance, its just about a perfectly constructed IPA.

Hazy yellow color with a fine white head. Good lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average to soft carbonation level. Good balance between sweetness and bitterness. Citric, pine and fruity flavor.
