Mosaic IPA

Tap to rate

An IPA named after the Mosaic hop and built around it. Melon and stone fruit sit at the centre, the softer tropical side of the variety rather than its resinous end. The malt profile is lean, which pushes the hop flavour forward, and the finish is moderately bitter rather than sharp. Same strength as the flagship IPA, but a rounder and fruitier profile.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit—particularly peach and nectarine—alongside melon notes that give the Mosaic hop its characteristic softer profile. Underlying tropical fruit notes emerge on closer inspection, while the lean malt backbone remains subtle and unobtrusive, allowing the hop character full expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fruity, with peach and tropical notes layering across the palate. Mid-palate maintains the hop-forward character without harshness, while a gentle resinous quality adds structure. The finish settles into moderate bitterness—balanced rather than aggressive—leaving the fruit and tropical notes as the lasting impression.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
