Microdosing: Mosaic
BlackStack Brewing

From a 16oz can with no date on it.

This is a somewhat pale looking golden colored beer. There's some clarity to it, and there's floaties in the beer. There's a 2 finger white head to the beer that has decent head retention. There's a bit of lacing on the glass as the head dissipates.
The aroma is dominated by the hops, and I could smell a bit of a tropical punch while pouring. Up close it has a tropical vibe to it. There's also a hint of a grassy aroma to the beer.
The beer's flavor is hop based and it is interesting. I am getting a faint hint of a tropical flavor from the hops. I also get a decent hint of pine in the flavor. There's also that grassy/earthy flavor that finishes off the profile with a nice slight bitterness.
The body does seem decent. The hops do cling to my throat and linger. The beer is somewhat sticky feeling.
I am burping up hops, and that is a good thing. I think this beer is well made and is sitting right with me.

 

Aroma is fruit, malts and very funky Mosaic hops. The flavor is fruit, malts/grains and a long and funky tropical fruit/Mosaic hop/slightly sweet finish.

I got a 4pck of tall boy cans of this beer whilst in St. Paul for my daughter's Wiac gymnastics conference championship. It poured a slightly hazy golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank mango, guava, papaya, and pineapple. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with mellow semi sweet malt base with fresh rioe tropical fruit presence. The mouthfeel was fuller in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Poured from 16oz can into my BeerAdvocate teku. No date on the can that I can see.

Appearance: medium golden-yellow hue with a moderate haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam.

Smell: sweet and tropical right out of the gate, with passionfruit, pineapple, and guava all at the forefront. Lovely!

Taste: the flavor isn’t quite as juicy as the aroma hints at, but it’s good nonetheless. The earthier flavors of the guava and passionfruit are more to the fore. Not bad, but just not quite as good as the aroma.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: I don’t know if this is an entirely one-hop beer, but I think Mosaic can’t quite handle everything by itself here. The aroma is good, but the flavor does drop off a bit and lack in complexity (comparatively).

Pours a cloudy orange with minimal head and lacing. Citrusy and juicy scents, a slight malty, dank pine. Taste is mildly citrus and juicy notes, hints of malt and pine. Lighter bodied, almost dry finish, and subtle alcohol, the feel is reminiscent of a saison. To me, it’s too light to be an NEIPA. Not bad, but not great.
