Age of Mosaic

Tap to rate

A pronounced aroma of ripe tropical fruit marks this American IPA, which is hopped with Mosaic alone. A straightforward bitterness meets a malty body, and the beer stays highly drinkable. It comes from Chroust, a Prague family brand that has made unfiltered beer in craft breweries since 2016 and is now settled at Clock Fenetra.

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with moderate clarity, revealing a fine suspension characteristic of unfiltered craft work. The head forms quickly and holds with steady retention, building a delicate lacing pattern that traces the glass as the beer is consumed. Carbonation appears lively but well-integrated, supporting the overall structure without aggression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fruit-forward, with tropical and citrus flavors mirroring the aroma. The mid-palate delivers a clean, measured bitterness that resolves into a malty sweetness without becoming cloying. The balance leans toward drinkability; the 60 IBU provides presence without dominating, while the malt foundation remains supple and approachable throughout.

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.
