341ml bottle - the same brew as last year's, but now mit Mosaic! Let's see if this is an improvement, or not.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and ethereally fizzy off-white head, which leaves some random snow rime lace around the glass as it evenly bleeds out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of musty yeastiness, muddled domestic citrus rind, and some earthy, weedy, and dank piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, more understated estery and meaty yeast, faded banal citrus notes, and more plain leafy, weedy, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, as that musty factor kind of takes the wind out of the proverbial sails here. It finishes trending dry, the crackery malt and still kind of dank hop quotient sealing the wan deal.
Overall - yeah, I'm not really feeling the love in this one, as the typical robust nature of the Mosaic varietal is mired a bit too much on the musty, dank, and unpleasant side of the coin. Not exactly something that I would want to chug back on a sunny patio, as opposed to what I opined about its predecessor a year or so ago.
