Gold body with white head. Aroma starts off like an IPA. Balanced body with hop and malt. Long finish.

Poured from the tap @ MBCC 2023 (finally adding my notes). Cloudy blonde with small white head. Lactose, citrus hops, a bit dirty, but decently tasty.

16 oz can picked up at Josh's Taps and Caps. Unsure if this is a fresh hop version of an otherwise not fresh hop hazy, or if it's always this way. Lots of tropical fruit throughout and a distinct strawberry note that seems so obvious it's there after reading the can. Both grassy and cool tropical fruit on the nose. Slight tingling hop bitter, biting hazy but not so much of a burn. Unique hazy, although I'm not sure if it's the fresh strata making this stand out or not.

Can. Pours a bright orange hue with a medium white head. A big fruity nose, perfume and resin. Rich, huge resinous hops, orange, dank notes. Flavorful as hell. Damn, this reminds me a bit of Alchemist.

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Hazy golden pour, one finger foamy white head. Light citrusy aroma, faint pine. Taste is zesty, fruity, grapefruit, with a very abrupt finish.

On tap at Garden Path - Bellingham, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a large white head. Aroma has a wonderfully fresh expression of tropical hops, piney hops, oily resins, and a thin biscuity malt. Flavour is wonderfully expressive of the Mosaic, with big piney hops, a touch of tropical character, some woody resins, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Piney, oily resinous finish with oodles of west coast hops. Love these blonde WCIPAs and this is a phenomenal portrayal of the Mosaic. Lovely.
