Mosaic Pale Ale

Tap to rate

A single-hop pale ale that uses Mosaic at every stage of the process, in the boil and again during fermentation. The hop brings berries, citrus and juicy tropical fruit, with mango, peach, lemon and pine among its flavours, plus a floral side. A base of light malts stays in the background so that the hop character comes through clearly. Very pale gold in colour, with a dry, hoppy finish.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus and stone fruit flavours, evolving into mango and peach in the mid-palate. Bitterness is measured at 40 IBU, providing a dry, resinous grip that balances the fruit character without overwhelming it. The light malt foundation supports the hop profile cleanly, maintaining focus throughout.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
