    Hey There,

    I am basically just posting this thread to get the word out about this beer because if you do not live in or around Sparta NJ you are most likely not going to know about it.

    Tital says it all. It's 077XX dry hopped with Mosaic hops!

    This beer is phenominal and the buzz so far in the area is great. Check out the ratings on BA and Untappd!

    For my personal opinion.... This is one of the best DIPA's I have ever had! We did a side by side with Heady Topper and I thought the 077-07871 Mosaic was better!

    If you are looking to try this beer head to Mohawk House or Liquor Factory in Sparta to try it! Only two places you can get it!

    For anyone who has this beer I Would love to hear what you think about it!

    Cheers!

    I thought 077xx was better than Heady in a side by side. so If i was able to try o dub with mosaic, I would probably agree.
    I dont think its homerism, even it it is, o dub is a more pleasurable experience for me drinking it, so I would take it over most other IIPAs.

    Sorry, kind of off topic but what hops does the 'regular' 077XX use? I wasn't a fan.

    I grabbed a growler at the last Carton takeover. I thought 077 (Mosaic) was quite a bit better than regular 077xx. Not sure I would say better than Heady, but it was really good. Tons of juicy citrus/mango/pineapple aroma. Nice citrus/pine flavor. I think it compares well to Fiddlehead Mastermind, which I really liked. Overall very well done DIPA.

    I noticed a bar in the area that has the 077-07006 (Sorachi Ace) on tap. How does it compare to the Mosaic?

    Is that the Cloverleaf version? Honestly I think the OG O Dub is a bit better.

    It is the Leaf version, and I respectfully disagree with you. I think the Sorachi is wonderful.

    And I'm very excited to try the Mosaic version. I'm thinking I might have to head to Mohawk tomorrow to try it.

    Yep, it's the Cloverleaf version. Was going to try it tonight but passed on it when I saw Orange Swisher on tap.
