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. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, guava), very nice pineyness. The taste is very nice hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, guava), very nice pineyness. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very tasty beer.

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!

A: Pours golden yellow with a frothy eggshell white head that settles to a firm layer and laces beautifully.
S: Zesty citrus, resinous pine, floral notes, blueberry, a touch earthy, underlying tropical and stone fruit, earthy notes, biscuity malt, and just a hint of sweetness.
T: Bright citrus, grapefruit, lemon, and lime, earthy herbal notes, resinous pine, tropical and stone fruit, apricot, passion fruit, peach, mango, guava, blueberry, and and hint of pineapple, a touch floral, biscuity faintly bready malt, and a fairly dry finish.
M: Medium body, moderately lively carbonation.
O: Proper Westy showing off what Mosaic has to offer. Exactly what you'd expect from La Cumbre.

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.
