Mosaic Singularity from Spyglass Brewing Company
6 years ago
8.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 8
Can (5/20/20) pour from the brewery. Appearance is opaque dark yellow-light brown with nice sparkle, finger-width white creamy foam head with decent retention and nice leggy lacing. Aroma is strong spicy citrus tang and cooking herbs/scallions. Mild tropical fruit. Taste is strong herbal dominant with nonspecific sweet fruit (stone fruit? melon?). Mouthfeel is medium bodied with full, thick texture, soft carbonation, nice alcohol warmth and surprisingly crisp, dry slightly yeasty finish as taste. Overall, another well crafted offering from this brewer. Unbelievably, no grapefruit from an all Mosaic offering (not that I'm complaining). Surprising herbal quality I don't usually get and nice sweet fruit. Pretty cool for all Mosaic.

Aurora from Spyglass Brewing Company

7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Taster pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is opaque, murky, milky dishwater, small foamy white head with poor retention. Aroma is really, really strong savory herbs. Taste is also strong savory cooking herbs with fruit--bit of citrus, stone fruit. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with lingering piney bitterness. Overall, very good. Not transcendent or ground breaking but a good representative of the style. For me, the herb shined through much more than the fruit.

Binary Stars from Spyglass Brewing Company

7.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Taster pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is opaque, murky, dishwater, milky light brown with small, foamy white head with poor retention. Aroma is expected citrus, grapefruit, mild herb. Taste is similar to aroma, more grapefruit than citrus and only hint of herb. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not ground breaking or earth shattering but a quality NEIPA featuring these hops.

Double Helix from Spyglass Brewing Company
6 years ago
7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Taster pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is opaque murky dishwater, milky light brown, cap of head. Aroma is a strong musky, armpit herb, and fruit (stone?). Taste the herb is more muted than in the aroma, and the fruit is nondescript (?grape). Nondescript more in an intriguing way like it's hidden and you want to figure it out vs. just a muddle. The two work well together and alternate dominance during the sip. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick, frothy texture, soft carbonation and fairly dry finish as taste with pleasant lingering bitterness. Overall, strong all around. Strong herb and singular fruit so not terribly complex but work well together.

Citra Singularity from Spyglass Brewing Company
6 years ago
8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8
Tap pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is opaque milky light brown with ring of off-white head. Aroma is dominant strong, sweet citrus but also with some herb, tinge of grapefruit. Taste follows aroma with a definite herbal component, mild grape and a stone-to-tropical fruit sweetness (fleshy fruit) that I can't quite identify (guava? peach? papaya?). Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, soft-to-average carbonation, crisp citrus finish with mild bitterness. Overall, very, very good especially for a one-hop offering. They explored the full range of Citra and squeezed every drop out of it.

Entanglement (Apricot) from Spyglass Brewing Company

Taster at the source. Lightly hazy light golden color with a good sized bubbly white head that persists. Tart sweet apricot peach aroma and flavor with plenty of lemony tart to balance. Very nice beer.

Stack Trace - Denali from Spyglass Brewing Company
7 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Taster at the source. Slight hazy deep gold in color with a white head that dissipates almost instantly. Bready maltiness with a somewhat sweet full mouthfeel. Earthy citrus and resin to counter. Nice beer just a hint too sweet for me.
