Offering #33: Mosaic IPA
St. Boniface Craft Brewing Company

 

We got ourselves a beer here, my peeps. You know it when you look at it and it looks like a beer. You know it when you smell it and it smells like a beer. And you know it when you taste it and it tastes like a beer. What we have here is nothing more, and nothing less than an aite beer. And you know what? Right now Raul is ok with that. Cheers.

 

 

Beautiful orange colored brew with little head from a soft pour. Love the scent of mosaic so fruity and citric. Good flavor blend with the malt with very slight sweetness and ever so slight bitterness to counter. Thicker mouthfeel with medium/low carbonation.

Pours cloudy yellow orange from can into glass. Smells of malt, herbs and fruit, with some pine. Taste follows. Malt heavy. Feel is sticky and as expected for the style. Overall...tastes pretty good, but with herbal notes and all from a mosaic hop DIPA, wondering if I got an old or bad can? Doubt it, given that I've only seen them around for maybe a few months tops...

 

 

 

I have had this one tap, and from cans. My rating is reflective of it on tap. I bought two 4-packs the day of the can release in April 2017; one tasted as good as it did on tap, the second 4-pack was much more maltier.
