Single Grind
Hop Butcher For The World

Pours a cloudy cream orange with a half finger of foamy head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring with a little lacing. Aroma of tangerine and pine. Taste follows nose.

 

Canned 4/1/24 (2 months ago)

Appearance: Pours a nearly completely clouded (5-10% clarity) medium to deep/dusky orange color with a strong white head. SRM of 8. (4.00)

Aroma: Strong aromas of candied orange, tangerine, and peaches. Sweet orange and peach-O-rings and cream linger. Tropical cream notes linger. (4.00)

Flavor: Strong flavors of orange, tangerine, and peaches upfront. Same as the aroma. In the middle it evolves into a sweet lime flavor. Finishes with more sweet lime, tropical orange peach cream, and mashed blueberry. Mildly sweet and clean. (4.00)

Feel: Medium bodied, average carbonation. Carbonated, but smooth and creamy. Yet dry. (4.00)

Compared to Fair State/HB The 400 Club 5/2024: Pours identical, milder aromas. Less zesty citrus and dank, resinous pine. More tropical berries, lime, melon. More tropical and sweet.

Compared to Hop Butcher Soapboxer 6/2024: Pours darker, similar head. Milder aromas. Less vinous grapefruit, pineapple, mango. More peach cream and tropical notes. Sweeter and more resinous.

Overall: The Mosaic definitely comes through here in usual Hop Butcher fashion. More candied orange and peach cream notes. Some mashed blueberry from the Mosaic. A bit lighter and drinks light, not heavy. More peach cream flavors than I expected which sort of overpower here. Pretty good, but the Mosaic overpowers and has some interesting flavors.

This beer pours orange and turbid. It is topped with an inch of loosely bubbled, tan head that leaves spotty lacing.

Citrus aroma with a focus on grapefruit

Citrus flavor with a little resin in the finish

Medium bodied with an effervescent mouthfeel

Decent IPA

Dull, milky yellow-brown body. Frothy crop of white head leaves ample amounts of lace. Aroma is moderate in strength and of pine, citrus and resin. Flavor is a little lemon-lime and pine resin. Some mashed blueberry and orange rind as well. Pretty solid. Medium bodied with perky/prickly carbonation. A bit of a hop bitter finish lingers. Pretty solid overall.
