Almost clear pale golden colour, moderate sized dense white head; aroma of tangerine, peach, some marmalade and celery notes; similar taste to the aroma with a great amount of hoppy-ness; good one

10 oz pour at Burgeon at the Arbor - Little Italy in San Diego, California. The pour is a clear golden yellow with a minimal white head (very full pour). The aroma is orange citrus, the fruit and a bit of bitter peel and then soft resin. The taste is clean, bright orange nectarine on top of a nice bread cracker malt base. Great balance. The palate is light to medium bodied, active carbonation and the dry fruit mineral softly bitter finish. Great resin in the aftertaste, my kind of Pale Ale.

10 oz pour at Burgeon at the Arbor - Little Italy in San Diego, California. The pour is a clear golden yellow with a minimal white head. The aroma is soft grapefruit, perfume floral, and cracker malt. The taste is the bright NZ hops right away, very expressive, balanced on top of an unfiltered bread cereal malt. The palate is unfiltered, medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and the bright grapefruit hops carrying the finish. A little flat as it warmed. Solid.

5oz pour in The Brewhouse, San Juan Capistrano on 27th July 2023. Golden pour, white crust, citrusy front with a decent malt base, but it's all about the Mosaic Hops and what they bring to the table really.

Aromas are a nice balanced blend of fresh citrus and resin hops with a little wee. Some pale malt in the background. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose with lots of citrus and great balance between sweet, bitter and carbonation. Good body and finish follows flavors. Very good drinking beer.

Aromas are citrus hops with maybe a little peach, wet and dry grains. Flavors are like nose plus some mint, mildly sweet up front with low bitter to follow. Good body, carbonation and finish. Decent beer.

Aromas are fresh hops, wet grain and tree bark. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose with really fresh hops that work perfect in this brew. Great balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Satisfying and refreshing. I'll buy more whenever I can.

Canned 1/9/2X (it sort of looks like 21, but that seems impossible that they'd have this old a beer here, there is some number compaction on what's marked above the year, so maybe the 2 or 3 got compacted. Still, I looked quickly and assumed this was 1/9/23... Yet it pours with a well-retained, white head. Clear, brassy-golden. Fresh, spicy herbs from the mosaic, nothing of the onion/garlic nature here. Reminds of how Tree House used to do their low gravity mosaic pale ales. Clean, no alcohol, resin, excessive malt. Cracker and a dollop of honey. Soft, juicy, malty (biscuit, white bread) with excellent stone fruit and spicy herbal notes from the mosaic, showcasing this hop near its best. Beer is in great shape so I assume it must have been canned on 1/9/23. This is frickin' fantastic: high attenuation, great malt depth, dainty, honey and biscuit-like malt flavors matched to spicy and stone-fruit-laden mosaic. A good single hop mosaic beer! WOW. Brings back fond memories of Tree House Eureka Mosaic, and also highlights just how special that beer is, having at least, if not more flavor than this one, with a fraction of the abv. Is this 4.3 a big overrating? Sure, probably. But this tastes spectacular right now, and I'd drink like 4 more of these if I could. The right beer in the right condition at the right time. Also, no onion/scallion/garlic.
