Bama Mosa

Tap to rate

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.

◌ 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.
