Can to cup. Pours a copper orange with moderate white head that retains well and has creamy aspects. Aroma is fruity and even slight bubblegum. A sweet graininess invades the background. Taste follows aroma with the malt more pronounced. Easy drinking and enjoyable.

12 oz can, enjoyed under the Wenatchee sun. I have hop phases, and mosaic happens to be my latest. A mature than expected aroma, grassy hops. Flavor is bitter forward, caramel malt well balanced with an earthy hop quality. Very pleasant camping beer for sure. Drinks very nicely. Solid mosaic showcase here.

Can from Taniguchi. I didn’t expect this can to be such a deep rich brown with a huge fluffy beige head of foam. The aroma is piney hops and toffee biscuits. Medium bodied with a smooth texture. The taste is peppery rye, toffee and bitter pine with some citrus. Nicely balanced.
