Mosacca
Greyline Brewing Co.

From the tap this pours a ruby auburn. I can only assume from the name that Mosaic and Azacca are the featured hop? It plays nicely on the palate, with a pleasing finish.

 

Fresh delicious IPA sampled on tap at Greyline. Pours a darker honeyed amber color with a cap of white fluffy head and thick clinging sheets of lingering lacing. Looks fantastic. Aromas of fresh pineapple, grapefruit, mango, orange, lemon fruity hops. Also some weaker floral hops, malt, bread and vanilla. Taste follows the nose, very well balanced with the sweeter malt backbone. Smooth, mild, slightly mouthfeel that coated the palate. Good carbonation. Well hidden higher ABV. A really enjoyed this one.

On tap at brewery:
My glass is full of an amber-leaning pale ale with a nice off-white too to it. The outside condensation blurs a fairly clear beer. A few initial sips show that the head is fairly attached to the glass.

Nose has a slight citrus lean to a malty core. Taste backs that up, with the very light tost/caramel malts warming up the palate. There’s a restrained citrus peel aspect initially, as I sip more, this gets more bitter and pithy, and even starts to gain a slight pine wood aspect. The malt thread does play through nicely, as do the citrus aspects.

A more classic AIPA, with enough malt backbone to sustain a fair amount of bitterness. The latter is not overpowering, but does provide a little pop that becomes more and more evident with each sip. There’s a little nip from the carbonation on this medium-ish bodied IPA. All together, it works pretty well.
