    Yellow Rose is my favorite Mosaic beer to-date, although I really enjoyed Half Hitch from Crux Fermentation too. Mo' Nelson from Cellarmaker was a good one and I believe they have a number of variants in which they use Mosaic and another hop.

    Also, I can't say for sure if it uses Mosaic, but it sure tasted like it and it's one of the reasons why Fatamorgana is a favorite of mine. However, I started a thread recently mentioning that the Fatamorgana in bombers does not taste like the version sold in 12 ounce bottles (brewed in different places). I'm hoping this will change over time as Onmipollo adjusts to the Crazy Mountain system.

    Grunion is my favorite pale ale right now. I get really intensely floral aroma from it almost to the point of a Jasmine scent. Would that be the Mosaic or the Calypso you think?

    Proclamation Derivative Mosaic Pale Ale (from Rhode Island) is another fine one I've found.

    Some Texas ABs have already mentioned Yellow Rose, but Community Mosaic and Hops & Grains Pale Mosaic are two stellar offerings from the Lone Star state as well

    As the name Mosaic implies, it can be a very complex hop, especially depending on where it grew! But Calypso is known to have very floral, herbal, and lightly fruity notes.

    I love Chillwave by Great Lakes, and that is supposed to be heavy Mosaic. I am waiting for it with baited breath, it should be out any day now...

    I think the only pure mosaic I've had was Treehouse's Bright. I loved it personally. Have heard others complain that mosaic beers in general (this one include) can give notes of onions and garlic, but I didn't notice this personally.

    I like this hop because it adds dank, citrus, and vegetal character to beer that I really like personally, but its much more complex than that.

    Community Mosaic was one of the best year round beers in Texas when I moved in 2014.
