Mosaic, my all time fav! This crop comes in at 11.4% alpha acids. This mosaic is every bit as incredible as the Lupomax but is a little less dank. It also doesn’t go quite as far because it doesn’t have the concentrated lupulin in it. Aromas of pineapple, mango, orange peel and a hint of blue berry come through on this crop. Mosaic is an age old hop at this point. Some love it.
Some hate it. I couldn’t help but make most beers with it for a couple years.
Flavors from this are super ripe fruit, like overripe pineapple, and blueberry. Look, I know you’ve used it before but your next hazy or west coast ipa needs this mosaic. It’s going to make a great summertime crusher for you. Who wouldn’t want that on tap?
