330ml can, another cog in the four different new single hop sessional ales from Mikkeller newly available in my neck of the woods.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly fizzy off-white head, which leaves some streaky and sudsy lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and crackery pale malt, muddled tropical fruit, a touch of earthy spiciness, subtle flinty notes, and some zingy leafy, piney, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser caramel sweetness, mixed domestic citrus rind, some fading exotic fruitiness, plain Pez candies, and more leafy, weedy, and musty floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its swirling and playful frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with maybe a touch of hop astringency taking the proverbial pound of flesh here. It finishes off-dry, the fruitiness and lingering malt staving off any potential dry-mouth.
Overall - having just had the Citra variant of this horizontal series (hey, a mini-session!), I can totally see the differences that hop selection makes. Mosaic offers a more rounded pine forest floor and fruity profile, as opposed to Citra's citrus (duh) focus. Still good stuff, and sessionable, in theory, if there weren't cheaper, equally well-made local products now becoming available.

On-tap served in a stemmed glass at Mikkeller Bangkok.
Hazy pale golden yellow color, it comes with thick fluffy white head that stays with good retention before slowly sinking to some bubble sheet atop and leaving numerous of sticky lacing wave all around.
In a nose, it is floral, tropical, earthy, some spice, and fruity with some biscuity malt in the background.
Very well balance in the taste with all the hoppy characters stated in the aroma nicely mingle with good biscuity malt bill. It is not too sweet nor too heavily bitter.
Light to medium body with good crisp and lively carbonation, smooth mouthfeel, the feeling is refreshing with a dry finish.
Good Mosaic IPA without doubt, it is light, crisp, refreshing, and sessionable, but still very tasty.
