Released in 2012, the Mosaic hop is the daughter of the bitter, earthy hop Simcoe, and was developed by Hop Breeding Co. Full of citrusy, floral and piney flavors, this hop achieved immense popularity right after its launch despite being a relative newcomer to the brewing community. In fact, it was so popular that it was a very hard hop to get our hands on at first! We scooped up as much as we could though, and loved it so much we designed our Kaleidoscope Mosaic IPA to give this hop the spotlight it deserved. The taste ranges from natural, floral notes to both citrus and pine and is a popular choice for single-hop IPAs. It’s tropical notes that finish with a gentle bitter bite make it a very approachable hop on it’s own as well as a being a great foil when combined with more bitter and resinous hops.

Pours a deep copper - slightly less than clear - with finger plus of creamy off white head, lacing nicely.
Aroma floral hops, piney, notes of citrus and tropical fruit on a caramel malt base.
Bready caramel malt on the palate with pungent tropical flavours, citrus, piney and resinous with a reserved but distinct earthy and floral hop bitterness.
Medium full mouthfeel - smooth and easy drinking with pleasantly bitter finish.
