In his most notable mosaic work, Sosus of Pergamon depicts doves sunning atop a golden chalice. The image was said to be so enticing that real birds flew into it while trying to reach their stone companions. This single-hop showcase is inspired by the beauty of divinity of the Sosus mosaics. Just as the doves discovered their golden nectar, discover the irresistible nature of the Mosaic hop.

Pours a hazy bright yellow with a large white head with staying power, great lacing. Aroma is full of fruity hops. Flavor is pineapple and citrus fruit, sweet in front with nice hop bitterness in the finish. Feel is light to medium bodied with a fair amount of carbonation. Overall a super beer.

22oz bottle - review from notes
I've been meaning to get my hands on this one. A double IPA from one of my favorite Ipa-making breweries. And this doesn't disappoint, with massive pine and floral notes. Smells (and tastes?) like a bottle of pine-sol
great stuff

A: Medium haziness of orange for coloring with a white soapy foam composition of one inch. Sticky strands of lacing. Strong carbonation factor.
S: Really sweet sugary peaches, watermelon and guava. A bit of strawberry-lemonade. Good strength. Has a bit of juicy Gatorade flair.
T: Dry flowery hopping, citrus, and orange grind with a bready malting.
M: Bready malty consistency for mouthful.
O: Overall loved the nose, fruity and berry like, fresh, wet and Gatorade like. The flavor was a bit less impressing, less complexed and basic.
