🌍 United States · Brut Ale · One of 1 Brut Ales in hopIQ

A brut-style ale hopped and finished to drink like a champagne — bone-dry, mineral-crisp, tangerine-and-mimosa lift. Named for what happens when Alabama brunch meets the enzyme trick that leaves brut IPAs almost sugar-free. 7% that hides so well you'll refill twice before you notice.

Very crisp and barely bitter.

Trim and gentle — the beer moves through with an unforced, easy rhythm.

AI-generated sensory profile for Bama Mosa

Appearance

Pale straw to light gold, brilliantly clear with excellent transparency. A fine, persistent head forms with delicate Schaumkleiden that linger throughout the pour. Carbonation is crisp and active, visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles.

pale strawcrystal clearfine bubblespersistent head

Aroma

The nose opens with bright tangerine and orange zest, accompanied by soft floral notes reminiscent of mimosa. Underneath sits a delicate mineral character and a whisper of citrus blossom, with noble hop aromatics providing structure without aggression. No malt sweetness intrudes—the profile remains clean and bracing.

Taste

Entry is bone-dry and effervescent, with bright orange and citrus flavors immediately establishing the champagne-like character. Mid-palate stays lean and mineral-forward, the low residual sugar allowing tangerine and subtle floral notes to dominate without cloying. Bitterness is restrained (5 IBU), permitting refreshing acidity to cut cleanly through the finish.

Finish

A crisp, lingering fade leaves the palate clean and thirst-reviving. The aftertaste is dry with persistent orange and a light mineral edge that encourages immediate return to the glass.
