Tap to rate

Tropical fruit and a piney edge define Mosaic Session IPA, a West Coast-style Session IPA at 4.8% ABV and 45 IBU. Blue Point in Patchogue, Long Island, hops it with Mosaic, Simcoe and Centennial for strong tropical fruit character in a light body with a dry finish. The beer is an homage to the brewery's history, preserved on the original tasting room bar top that dates to 1997.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
