Mosaic Single Hop India Pale Ale
La Cumbre Brewing Co.

Mmmmmm. This was a tasty one. I picked up on a pleasant bouquet of tropical fruits, pineapple and papaya and maybe guava, even. The sip follows, with more citrus pith and pine. Mild bitterness. Enjoyed at the OG brewpub.

 

 

Clear light amber appearance with medium carbonation. Body is close to average, felt just a bit thin
Aroma is a really nice mix of various tropical fruits along with the earthy scent peels and rind gives off.
Taste is tropical fruit,pine along with some malt and lingering bitterness

Picked up a single from the Craft Beer Hop Stop in North PHX on 2-5-25 for $2.99, Canned on 12-19-24; best by 3-19-25; consumed 2-5-25.

Beer poured golden with a very nice long lasting white head.

Nose is very nice, getting tons of floral, stone fruit, and citrus hops.

Taste is a lighter pale malt base that the brewing team does some fine work incorporating the Mosaic hop. Getting a medley of flavors up front, a touch of pineapple and mango, some peach dominates the back end. Finishes with a nice piney and passion fruit bite; 8/10 on my scale.

Mouthfeel is light to medium body and both smooth and refreshing.

Overall the more i sip on this beer the more klaidescope of flavors i am getting!

Poured into a Trillium glass a very nice slight hazy golden yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy one-finger plus white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind.

Good pine notes but not at all bitter.earthy tones and also
Do get a hint of bubblegum.
Soft mouthfeel and mild bitterness on mouth.
Nice wcipa and love mosaic hops.

 

Crystal clear pour and body; beautiful, even density carbonation bubbles; dense, rich, spongy head, white and long lasting; sticking rings and fingers of foam cling to the glass. Nice aroma; dank with a bit of floral undertones. Fine flavors; balanced with a wheat-like malt base and bold herbal hop bitterness. Medium-heavy body; soft and spongy; semi-dry.

This is a fine single hop India pale ale. The looks and mouthfeel are phenomenal and the aroma and taste are better than most beers.
