    I would 2nd Pipeworks Lizard King (I stock up each time I go back to Chicago) and also throw in Elysian Dayglow and Southern Tier 2XSMASH.

    Try Southern Tier's 2Xsmash! Although I don't know how it holds up with age my bottles were mid December I believe and quite good

    The Maris Otter totally overwhelms the Mosaic on this one. Totally missed the intent of a SMaSH beer to have the hops and malt play together.

    Mosaic is my current favorite hop. If you can get NE beers, the following are great Mosaic beers.

    Trillium Melcher Street (Mosaic, Columbus)
    Trillium Artaic (Mosaic)
    Focal Banger (Mosaic, Citra)

    In terms of nationally distributed beers, I thought Lagunitas Born Yesterday showcased Mosaic well, although it did have other hops in it.

    Might be the best overall beer I've ever had!

    Have to disagree. I think it's balanced....something that is all too often lost on us in today's hop centric world.

    Mosaic Showers from Noble Ale Works is fantastic. I love Citra showers but the Mosaic is my new favorite.

    Respect. One man's balance is another's obliteration. :stuck_out_tongue:

    There are an absolute ton of great Mosaic hopped IPAs out there. For a very accessible, year-round offering, try Long Trail Limbo. There are plenty of better Mosaic beers out there, but many of the ones mentioned on this thread are difficult to impossible to find.

    Really enjoyed Pipeworks Mosaic when I had it back in October '14. To this day that beer is still stuck in my head.

    Pfriem's Mosaic Pale remains the best single hopped brew I've had, and it's been a few years now.

    I've had only one all Moasic IPA and it was from a brew pub in Durham. I'm not into funk, and IMO Moasic by itself has a bit of funkiness to it, same with pure Simcoe brews. It blends beautifully though with other hops.
