    Watery with hints of greatness?

    I think their beers usually need a couple days to come together and then they're delicious!

    Yup I agree, just cracked a can and it's watery for sure. Has potential though. Hop showers is usual averageness. At least there wasn't a line today, it was damn hot out!

    Hop showers is actually my favorite beer that they do (no, I'm not going to trade the rest of my mosaic 1:1 though!)

    They always come together nicely between 1 and 3 weeks.

    Mosaic is sooooo good. My fave OH beer to date. Having it same day canned is just next level.

    The mosaic holds up to the spring release. Still my favorite ipa out there. Not sure about then"watery" comments but to each their own. Had it with Mastermind and Julius today, and it wasn't even close.

    Lightweight :slight_smile:! Kanger took down a 4 pack by himself a couple of weeks ago!

    AGE so drinkable for what it is, if you don't plan ahead it can take you down for the count before you know it!

    Someone there was saying the next release will be a stout? Anyone else hear this too?

    EDIT: And by "someone" there I mean some random ppl I was talking to in the tasting room (not an employee). Source is sketchy at best.

    Can release?

    I know Jesse was filling up some wood barrels with a stout the other day, but I'm sure that won't be available until it ages a while.

    Yeah and I felt horrible the next day!

    Is it me or does this batch of Mosaic seem more grassier than last batch. Last can release was more tropical and was getting more of a mango nose.

    Dunno, but I am still totally digging Hop Showers. I don't know why this beer doesn't get more respect for its balance.

    Agreed, for a more traditional style IPA, Hop Showers is fantastic.
