look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
16oz can pours moderately hazy darker gold with a fluffy white head. Bready malt, earthy dankness, the Mosaic profile has some of the textbook floral berry character, as well as some grapefruit pith and a bready malt backbone.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazy orange-yellow color with a big fluffy head of white foam. The head fades over a moderate amount of time, leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is big of a tropical fruit and citrus smell with lots of tangerine, mango, and papaya. Along with these comes notes of grapefruit and a bit of bready and biscuit malt.
Taste – The taste begins with a tropical and citrus fruit flavor with tangerine, orange, mango, papaya as well as some melon. There is also a decent showing of citrus grapefruit hop and notes of herb. As the taste advances more hop joins in with some pine coming onto the scene. A bit of lemon and some grass develop at the end mixing with the rest and taking the taste to its end on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew was medium in thickness with a moderate carbonation level.
Overall – A decent brew overall. Interesting mix of flavors, but easy drinking

Pours a chill-hazed gold with 2 fingers of pearl colored head. Above average head retention & nice lacing

S: A tropical explosion, guava, mangoes & passionfruit, fades a bit as it warms up

T: Follows the nose, some lemon & dryness up front, a touch of grassyness too. Dryness, lime, pomelos, green melon & passion fruit as this beer warms up. Finishes with pomelos, limes & dryness

MF: medium body, fairly firm carbonation, good balance

Easy to drink, started strong, kind of faded as this beer warmed up

16 fl oz can:

6.2% ABV.

Hits Mosaic's signature blueberry flavour with aplomb, but it's not as dialed in as a Mosaic-hopped IPA like Lone Pint's Yellow Rose.

Worthwhile fare, and one of the better brews I've tried while briefly living in Montana.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of pine, citrus, toasted caramel and some floral notes. Sweet caramel taste with grapefruit, orange and a piney bitterness.

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper, canned July 17th 2023.

It pours a sparkling clear and bubbly gold with a 2 finger head of foam, nice lacing.

The smell is grapefruit citrus, very floral with some pine. The citrus seems very strong and pleasing.

The taste is grapefruit citrus, some pine, very hoppy with a mildish bitterness. Juicy yet still a bit dry. I get some cracker malt that has some sweetness to it.

Mouthfeel is very good and somewhat sticky on my tongue.

This is so fresh and vibrant. I need to pick up more.

I tried this beer off the tapper at Montana Ale Works in Bozeman, Montana as part of a three sample flight. It poured a hazy golden with white head that left some lace. The scent had citrus fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright malt base and semi sweet citrus fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.
