24.09.2015, tap @ BeerTemple:
Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet, caramel malts, dark sugar, toffee, mild grassy chillies, grass, hints of cinnamon. Taste is slightly dry grassy, weeds, grass, caramel malts, mild grassy chillies, minerals, bark, cardboard. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh mouthfeel, nice warming chili touch. Fair enough.

Caldera Mosaic IPA 6.5% Mosaic is one of the hottest new hop varietals at the moment. Deep Amber color with a thick dense beige head and a candyish tropical fruit and dank resinous aroma at first. On second whiff I got magi and papaya! The taste is tropical fruits and dank woodsy pine. Medium bodied with a raspy carbonation but decent depth of flavor. A good bang for your buck beer as I think this was less than 500¥ on Rakuten. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Medium amber, hazy. It’s heavy with piney hop, a ton of chewy malt. Sweet, there’s some of that piney hop but mostly it’s a mess. The caramel and alcohol doesn’t flow for me and then there’s a bit of piney hop. I don’t know - it doesn’t come together.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy dark amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out herbal hops, some pot, and bready caramel malt. Flavour is sweet and messy, with lots of candied sugar, caramel malt, some resinous hop oils, and alcohol. This is sweet, messy, and expressive of a weird hop character. This isn't a convincing brew - messy, abrasive and cloying. Not good.

From bottle to pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy orange with moderate and well retained white head. Hop aroma is lacking, with more assertion form sugary bread. Flavor also lacks hops, but bitterness shows the hop additions in a moderately strong manner.
