    I think I really enjoy this variety of Hop. A local favorite of mine is Community's Mosaic. What other Mosaic IPAs are out there?

    First want to say I 100% agree. My favorite hop by far.

    Terrapin Mosaic is meh, Southern Tier 2XOne is decent, Great Lakes Chillwave is really good (my recommendation)

    Believe Rampant from NB uses Mosaic. I don't like Mosaic hops, and I'd say this beer really highlights them.

    If you're in Texas and you like mosaic, you need to get yourself some Yellow Rose. Trust me, you will enjoy it.

    I was really surprised with Shaka Mosaic from Surf Brewing in Ventura, CA. Great beer.

    Best one I've had hands down is Churchill's Pale Ale (IPA) from Bear Republic. Better than APEX. Quote me on that...

    Clown Shoes released Space Cake which I think is 100% mosaic and if it's not, it's damn close because that's all I tasted.

    If you like all Simcoe hops you'll like Mosaic, I think better in a blend, only had one at a brew pub and it was a little too earthy for me.

    I've never been that impressed with Blue Point brewing, but I tried their Mosaic Session IPA yesterday and it was really good! It's a light bodied, low abv beer (and hence is not getting good ratings here), but if you can handle that, it's a solid beer. I was impressed!

    Sosus has been a disappointing beer IMO. It is a DIPA as well.

    I'd say 3Floyd's/Half Acre's Anicca is my overall favorite Mosaic beer - availability is questionable.

    The couple times I was lucky enough to have it, Alchemist's Focal Banger was outstanding. Can't wait to see that canned on a regular basis.

    Somewhat irrelevant since its a seasonal, but I thought Sixpoint Autumnation was decent.
