On tap at Keenan's in Irondequoit, NY. Fresh Hop Ale with Mosaic. Sign me the F up!
Pours a golden yellow-orange, a little bit hazy, with a half inch head, and a small amount of lacing.
Smells really juicy, bit citrus hop flavors, orange and grapefruit mainly. It's so sweet and inviting, like sunshine in a glass.
This tastes great too. Mosaic is a really good single hop for IPAs. There's some pine and grass, a little bit, but it's a mostly fruity and tropical show here. Big, juicy hop flavors- some peach, orange, and grapefruit, and some dank herbal qualities near the end as well.
This is medium bodied, but feels light, and is oh so drinkable. It's got a juicy and crisp mouthfeel.
This is one of the best IPAs I've had from Troegs, very tasty stuff.

Served in a snifter at the Union Brewhouse in Weymouth.
Appearance: A two finger head was poured that reduced to a thin layer. It is a pale orange color with great clarity and vision of bubbles coming up through the glass. Super frothy lacing down the glass as the beer was drank.
Smell: Herbal, floral, light citrus, pine, earthy, spicy, toasted, and caramel malts.
Taste: Not sure what type of hops this is, but definitely a fan of it in this beer. Backed up by a solid malt backbone and light tingly bitterness too.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, refreshing, light tingly bitterness, medium bodied, a little chewy, and medium carbonation.
Overall: Another solid scratch beer. You can't go wrong. Go get it before it's gone people.
