I don't even know where to start with this beer. This is a beers beer. Smell? Piney and fruity at the same time. Tasted just like it smelled, though I got the bitterness up front and a yeast bite in the back. Sippin' beer (not from strength, but because it's mighty tasty!) Overall, I love this beer!

Appearance: Pours a hazy, semi-opaque, golden yellow color. A sticky, soapy white foam head with good retention.
Aroma: Very aromatic. Citric fruits up front, floral, herbal, and earthiness. with Pineapple, orange, and a bit of berry. A malty aroma is also present.
Taste: A complex balance of bready malts up front, followed immediately by fruitiness and then a bitter hop bite with hop resin and some earthy notes, which then all come together at once to complement each other. The bitterness is a near perfect level and lingers in the finish.
Overall: The balance and complexity of this brew was a pleasant surprise. The aroma and the flavors stimulate the senses and practically play a hockey game on the palate. Nothing in this brew is overbearing. Wonderful drinkability. Worth the extra money spent.

16 oz can, canned 7/13/22. Pours slightly hazy yellow with a big rocky white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet stone fruit with some bready malt and some grassy hops.
The flavor is lots of creamy bready earthy malt with some minty green hops with a little fruit and resin. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, just OK. I didn't really care for the flavors and found it overly malty.

Can pour - opaque dark gold with foamy white head leaving frosty lacing. Nose is deliciously mosaic and taste follows right with it with a nice bite. Finish is a bit citric and slightly dry.

Had Do You Even Mosaic Broh? in Humboldt straight from pint can split with friends, and poured from pint can, bottom stamped (apparently) canned on "09/04/20" and "ABROHAM [sic] LINCOLN," into nonic pint.
Looks the part of a now-classic NEIPA, pouring cloudy rather than turbid, and bright gold, with 2-finger foamy near-white head, with excellent retention, leaving chunky rings of lace. The demonstration of Mosaic's complex aroma profile could not be more complete, as there are sweet citrus, berries and floral aromas to start, and then stone fruits, pear and peach, with all continuing as long as the beer. On tasting, a little resinous hop bite to start, under up-front fruit, over mild malt, then stone and other fruits take over, before a drying, slightly but just bitter enough finish.
Alone, even this much Mosaic can't carry the flavor quite as well, but it's still a subtle and complex NEIPA.

Packaged on 9/23/20 - consumed on 10/23/20 - poured from a tall-boy can into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Slightly hazy gold liquid topped by a fat finger of seashell foam. Soapy lacing; excellent retention.
Pungent, herbaceous, fruit-forward aromatics. Slightly dank.
Forest floor, grapefruit, strawberry, pine, hints of pineapple and peppercorn on the palate. Subtle and quite complex flavors from the single hop variety. Mild but persistent bitterness. Clean malt bill. Perhaps a tiny bit green, but no off notes.
Zippy yet soft mouth-feel.
Well made and refreshing (SMASH?) IPA, though not a great value.

Always nice to see one of my faves needing a review. This is one of those beers I buy every time I see it. Its nice because that happens more often every year.
Pours a dark golden to the lightest of all ambers. 1/2" white head. Blasting aromatics of nothing but Mosaic hops. Do you like guava hippie dank weed smells? Because here it is. And its big time.
Taste is a crisp classical west coast style malt body with a buttload of Mosaic hops. It has a bitterness as if there is a helping of Simcoe or Centennial, but this might be all Mosaic because the lush dense jungle of fruity notes are there. Still has a sticky pine and pineapple hit to it. Carbonation is just right. Good dry finish, not sticky from the malt, sticky from the Mosaic hops, but counterbalanced with that light airy body. All the tropical fruit stripe gum you can shake a stick at.
I've kind of wondered why so many of the other NorCal breweries get so much more notoriety for their hop game (rightfully so), but New Glory rarely gets brought up. Top tier banger here.

Golden, amber beauty, crystal clear with a modest but persistent head.
Sharp pineapple and sweet mandarin lead the nose. Rounded out by a sweetly herbal (mint/basil?). Nice and bright and danky
Taste has pineapple and just underripe peaches along with softer Danker flavors that hint at berries and a earthy must
Mouthfeel is great, full bodied and crisp
If you like mosaic and you like classic west coast style this is one for you. Dank and bitter with sweet hippy fruitiness to balance.

Do You even Mosaic, Broh? pours a clear, bright golden amber with a small head that quickly fades away. The smell is earthy with a dank pine and just a hint of tropical fruit. The taste is smooth with a medium body with the Mosaic hops bursting throuhg, as a bitter sweetness and touch of fruit are present.

Clear golden mosaic drop. Clean finish, light malt, easy drinker. More mo, more mo, more mo. Is too much mo a bad thing? I realize this review is the last mosaic-hop review in a cluster, so this might have broken my mosiac-run.

Clear amber with a fluffy, slightly bumpy white foam settling to a thick blanket clinging in rolling hills around the edges.
Smell is grapefruit and very light cannabis with a splash of blood orange and some toasty biscuit.
This is a pretty clean and tasty Mosaic IPA, with nice balance between malt and hop, and not leaning too far into bitterness. Flavors of toast and biscuit co-mingle with a general blend of citrus, such as orange, grapefruit and lemon, with a hint of longan and a light touch of evergreen.
The moderate body has a soft but mild froth, finishing satisfyingly semi-dry.

Went to this place after that interesting trip to Zone 9 Brewing, where they served out of plastic cups. Great tap list here but first thing I wanted to try was this one from New Glory. Had one of their beers before and really liked it. Online description called this, “West Coast IPA Brewed with 100% Mosaic Hops.” That sounded terrific to me.
Was dark in there, but appeared to be a pale clear color with two fingers of off-white frothy head when I got it. Lots of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. Very good spotty, foamy lacing. World-class retention. (Sight - 4.25)

Tropical goodness. Not necessarily my favorite hop, but I do find SH Mosaic brews to be nicely well-rounded. This here is definitely a SH brew done right.

From the 03/29/18 can release
Appearance - Pours crystal clear and golden yellow in color with a rocky, finger width head.
Smell - Citrusy with some pineapple and some evergreen. Hint of lightly toasted malt. Leaves a slight spice at the end of the aroma.
Taste - Citrus, mango and lesser pineapple explode upfront before quickly being met by a solid caramel and lightly toasted malt backbone. Light green, leafy notes sit beneath. Hint of peach. Flavors meld in the finish, leaving a sultry aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Light-to-medium in body with fair carbonation. Slick, somewhat velvety mouthfeel makes this a stupid easy drinker with a slightly dry finish.
Overall - This just might be the best single hop IPA I've had to date. Strike that, it is. I've had a few SH mosaic beers, and they don't come close to this. Expertly brewed to get the most out of this fantastic hop, backed by a nice, complimentary malt backbone. Well done, New Glory.

16oz can, served in a snifter glass. Pours a relatively clear golden/amber body, on the slightly darker side, one finger thick white head, good retention, lots of lacing. Smell is dank, leafy resin, herbal notes as well as tropical fruit and a touch of spice, distinctly Mosaic in nature. Fair bit of balance from the caramel sweetness as well. Flavour brings out more of the sweetness; I find Mosaic to already be a fairly sweet hop as far as the tropical fruit and citrus aromatics go, so it synergizes with the solid caramel malt base. Smooth, medium body with good carbonation, leafy herbal bitter resin on the finish. Solid and expresses Mosaic in a big way, although I think it seems to combine with the malt to make it a sweeter-than-average beer. A bit unbalanced in the sweetness department if that makes sense, but not in the same vein as say, a barleywine or pastry stout.
